In some countries, smaller margins are considered "mandates."

And that's a kind of a scientific reasoning behind that question as well. Think carefully which margins make a difference so that you should trust there is something in there...

I said this in the post:

and so I took the scientific approach and assigned the gender that most supported my results.

Which means that the only reason one does science is to get grants, or, in this case, to get rep.

I've always wondered if they like to fish in Warsaw. I mean, do a large percentage of people in Warsaw (or Krakow for that matter) enjoy angling, and if so, what type of fish?

I really want to see a poll for Poles with poles.

Sorry, I really had nothing worthwhile to offer to this discussion.

Question - should the rep button work when using the Safari browser on a Mac? As it doesn't work every time, and I'm thinking this is very odd now - I can understand it working none of the time or all of the time but not some of the time. Does the software support Safari on a Mac?

Anyone else use this set up?

davem uses Firefox and I use Safari so we can both be logged in on the same machine and stop these 'posting as each other' mistakes

Happens sometimes with me as well, on Linux. It's not just the rep button, it's also stuff like the Quick Links and Search buttons at the top. Might have something to do with Javascript, which controls the popup boxes, but I can't figure why it's "random".

But just right click on the link, and open it in a new tab or window - that should get the job done.

I don't routinely use Safari - love Firefox too much (it's on both my Macs and PCs) - regardless, I was able to open the rep box without issue using Safari. Maybe something else is going on.

I don't have a Mac, but I've noticed that I sometimes get a 'done, but with errors on page' message, and the rep button just doesn't work.
I'll try Beregond's solution the next time it happens.

May I humbly suggest that the requirement to spread reputation to 10 members before giving it to the same person again be lowered?

Really, you don't have to rep me *that* often...just send a note of appreciation.
