Reading the comments about reputation makes me a bit sad. It seems no-one is remembering all the positives of the new bulletin board software, and the FT community in general.

Yes I have been dinged, like others but who cares. Overall this place is much better.

*It works significantly faster
*You have the option to ignore someone
*You can ding / reward folks as you see appropriate
*The private msg is amazing. If it weren't for the penis enlarging "stuff" I wouldn't even need my second email address anymore

We are better off. My hats off to the FT techie's who pulled this all off.

(FYI if I ding, or reward I sign it and noticed that most of the ones coming my way have been signed as well)

Cheers
