Two hundred and fifty?!?  DAMMIT!!  That means I need......two more. 


I know everyone is concerned about the potential negative affects of the +, - rating system but I think it will work out pretty well.  Most of the people who are talking about it sound very reluctant to use the "-" button, as they should be.  I know for myself I will primarily be rewarding people for good posts and will only "smite" when someone is being dishonest or a REAL jackass.  Also, I plan on informing people when I give them a +1 and also in the rare cases I dish out a -1.  I think the feedback mechanism will be important for the rating system to work correctly.
