I felt this post of yours was worth a kudo because it gave me a good laugh.  But I guarantee you that I won't be changing allegiances.

I promise you that if you want to post an anti-steeler screed in any message, you'll get a free kudo from me.

 I can be very persuasive, of course the anti-Steelers screeds practically write themselves will be very difficult to write since the Steelers are the epitome of winning with class.  At least when I need that extra Kudo to move up the daily list I know how to get it done.

I will  argue that Ben is looking at this completely backwards, and will once again offer my statistical analysis.

Disclaimer #2:  As a physicist I am trying to appeal to his reasonable side.  If he follows through on his pledge then I have no motivation to remain on his good side and will be forced to unleash an anti-Steelers screed at every possible moment to an extent that even Ravens Fan will be shamed into sympathy, change his allegiance to the Yellow and Black and switch avatars to a terrible towel.  Nobody really wants to see this, just saying...

After being "on the wagon" (I count my Psedo_Kudos as the equivelent of methadone)  for what seems like forever, reading your posts and thinking...

I am now looking at this in a different way than when I decided to abstain. I was thinking that I was just passing out Kudos to satify my own needs and was hurting the forum becuase of it.

Now I am coming to understand that Kudoing may be one of the most important things that I do on a regular basis (since Y'all can't Kudo your own posts, someone has to do it for you).

So thank you for helping me to reason through this mid-forum-life-crissis .

Besides, I'd loose my reserved seating if my buddies ever found out I failed to defend the Steelers.

PS: Pseudo_Kudos will be replaced with real ones as time permits.

Wow 3233 Kudos! and 11,444  posts = 3.54 Posts for each Kudo given.  I'm at 2.98.

I have a problem.

(Step 1) My name is Jeff and I've been binge kudoing.  Sometimes I even kudo at lunchtime.........

I have to admit that I found this thread to be a bit of a joke at first.  Ben, I should have realized that you were not being insincere (without a "<~set mode...>" statement. I caught you doing the "methadone" and ascribed it to a forum joke that I litterally laughed out loud at.  Had I actually thought you were SERIOUS.  I would have attempted to reassure you of the value of your kudos contibution.

Thankfully, Darin.K posted yet another well researched scholarly artical (Citations omitted) but with convincing anecdotal evidence And Kudoerholism has been removed from the list of Forum vices that are recommended for treatment with Behavioral Modification Therapy.

More importantly Christian is aquitted of all charges for tempting the weak to actions that they are powerless to control. 

Well done to all!

Just checked my profile, and guess what?

Got a Kudo from Ben!!! 

Gives me the necessary push to get all problems solved this afternoon and enjoy a relaxed weekend.

I have lost track of the times I have clicked on the Kudos heading of some list expecting it to sort, only to be reminded that we can only sort on much more important things like number of views (which have their own interesting quantization effects).

I did some searching, and it appears that someone named Laura made a request for kudo sorting on the Lithium boards 😛
