i must not have any because i dont see a number at all - not even a zero

as everyone has already stated i understand the idea of rep points and how its important. however the significance of a reply is based upon the viewer and if they feel compelled enough to give you props for your comment.

do people give these points very freely here? i have appoved on numerous occasions of threads/responses ive come across and the same thing always pops up: may you be fortunate enough to have someone add to your rep....

yea no shit! fortunate is the key word there
