The true value of what you say and do on this forum can be seen and appreciated by all members all the time. That value is in how you help new people, the level or your craftsmanship and the willingness to share your knowledge with others.

Thanks folks,

+1 and then some to that.

Can anyone in the know go over the requisites for acquiring green squares? Is it a simple arithmetic formula where so many tnxs = a greenie or are the tnxes increased in value by some constant or variable based on the number of greenies the tnxer has? Or are there other variables at work here as well?

I am at a loss to explain this, but every time this greenie thing come to mind I hear Tevye singing, "If I were a rich man."

...and may your rewards be great,

I dont hyave a clue about how these points or green thingies work, All I know is that Im not sharing any of mine....so you can go away now!

Hey, that's not fair......I'm a "Super Newbie" and haven't even acquired a strop yet....I can't afford for someone to take both of the razors I've managed to buy so far.

nun2,

You are right to be concerned as you have 200% more greenies than I. Fortunately, I am not a thief (didn't someone else say that?) and neither know how to nor am I interested in stealing your greenies. Nor would I comment negatively in an attempt to dilute your positives and soften that vibrant kelly green to some palid pastel. Nope, what you have is safe and well earned, I'm sure. in gathering more of these hard sought rewards.

and Merry Christmas,

Actually he (Nixon) said, "I am not a crook"

Thank you.

Chi,

I knew it was something like that. Thanks for the clarification. I'd say that deserves a hearty round of reputation. Mount your keyboards, boys, and herd them there mouses.

Hmmm, couldn't remember the Nixon quote and it's obvious I'm no Rowdy Yates: it's no wonder I can count my greenies on one finger.

One finger... that could be the problem. Nixon was holding 2 fingers in the air on each hand when he said that.
