All of you high karma folks around:

'Karma' is a quite recent invention, in fact it dates only a few years back. Everything growing so fast is always exposed to dissolve in even less time...

Are you kidding? Brownie points are old hat.

Err no.

Slashdot had karma-points long before they shifted to simply "Good" or "Excellent" and stuff like that.

How 'old' is internet itself? Not more than the mentioned 'few' years.

Really important (and great) things grow slowly and die slowly.
