Huh, I guess some of us are rather more competitive than others...

I tend to only use competitiveness as an instrumental goal, and so it only shows up sometimes.

I treat the 30-day karma list about the same way I treat the points earned by my favorite sports team: something to enjoy when it's up, but not something to base my decisions on.

I think this should change when you are on your favorite sports team, or you're not playing sports correctly :P

That's my point, I am not playing for the team Karma, though I am a fan.
