>:/ Losing influence
Ok... I know a bunch of you are wayyyyy up on the influence numbers, having been here forever, but, I'm on EVERYday... why do I lose influence points?

Honestly, Karen M. the influence points mean very little. I think most would agree that the quality of your posts and contributions mean much more and the system has no way of measuring that. You certainly have quality posts and it's clear that you contribute which in my book means you are influential.
I think most of us will take vacations and have prolonged periods of work or other reasons that we might not contribute necessarily everyday. There are times that I don't have anything solid to contribute due to the nature of the topics being posted. I'm certainly not going to just throw up a bunch of meaningless responses for points.
