"Stars" go for all prices, but thoughts and words are worth "Gold Dollars"
Edited on Thu Nov-18-04 09:39 PM by KoKo01
Anyone can have a dollar for a "Star" but the sliver of commitment for that "dollar Star" goes far beyond..."talk is cheap." And, comment for those whose time is limited might need to be more weighty than a "dollar Star" or a "one-liner." It might take some "brain power" to discuss or complete the paragraph or in internet language...the "graph."

Maybe....:shrug:

1. Huh ?
Are you suggesting that DU start to 'weigh' members in terms of content value, instead of donations ?

Who decides ?

There are people here who post hundreds of article snips/paragraphs, and post essays of drivel just to see their names "in print" ... and there are others whose posts are few and far between, but the words they say hit home every time.

I don't see how that could be fairly adjudicated.


:hippie:

2. This is one of those insane drivel posts, but
I bet you'd never see the word adjudicated on the Freeper site... for some reason that thought is cheering me up right now.....
