Is your rep high enough?

[c172]

It mattered a lot more at one point in my life... but it's the list of what people say about you that really gets me

I love seeing more on that list.

I, too, occasionally watch the rep, and more often watch my kudoes. The reps I have come to take as what they are: a sign of overall, general decency and value to fellow posters. Kudoes are more of an instant sign, without reading, that my post is being read.

But even better is when I am responded to. Just like in normal, real life convo. It's nice to be listened to, and fit in. And I try to offer such thoughtful responses where I think I can, if something compels me to.
