...and then what...so you know who gave a Thumbup, and you also know who didnt.

You gonna keep track of who posts and who doesnt vs who thumbs up and who doesnt, then cross-reference with a list of known good contributors vs everyone else? I guess its great for people who want to sit on an investment forum all day analyzing the thumbup statistics instead of thinking for themselves.

But. This all seems a little too Orwellian.
