Boro has a wonderful point. The idea of reps is not necessarily to give us all uninflatable ego-boosts (although thanks to a silly comment I made in Mirth a little while ago, I've got a big grin), but so that we can communicate what we like or dislike about posts. There's no need to be leery about giving neg-reps to top-listers. The only one I ever gave was to someone that I'm quite terrified of. I still left my name, preceded by exactly what bothered me about that person's post. There've been no retributions, I swear.
