This whole process is new to me and I'm not ANYWHERE near an expert on these type of issues, which is why I asked the questions.

But, as to racking up points in a short period of time by posting these generalized questions that simply invoke a broad opinion or political view is rather demeaning to the intent of the influence points, I'd say some of the older technicians, specialists and "experts" who earned their points by providing sound RE advice lose influenece in a way as someone with less RE knowledge is seen as a peer in terms of the points granted, when that poster is no where near being a peer in hard core RE knowledge.

That is what I was thinking...a place that anyone could throw in their experience, without a perceived need to feel like they are an expert in anything, really, so as to not feel intimidated by jumping into the posting world :)
