>>I'm not saying that the point system is overall a bad thing, just that it is almost funny that I am number 10 because I know the least! The nine above me are there for providing solutions; I am there for providing issues. If that isn't ironic then I didn't barely pass 7th grade English...twice.

Yes, it's true that I could do the same in reverse way by accessing the contributer of the solutions profile. But, then again, if you take time to mark those messages, when I have time, I can learn some things by reading those messages when viewing your profile as I know you take the time to mark them.

Michel;

I understand what Renoir is saying as well as your statements. When we create applications to handle data, we like to have a means to differentiate between elements that may be similar but are yet different. In this case it is the Point System of the Universal Thread. Would it be possible to assign a different color star to a person that asks a question as opposed to one who answers a question? That way we would have more information available to us.

I agree it is valuable to have a person ask a question that is well founded, regardless of the degree of technical difficulty it may possess.
