Entirely your own pleasure! Nuffin' in the general scheme of things. Can't swap them for even a small slice of ham ...... :-)

Usually : measure of progress, measure of rate of progress ( ie. RAC or Recent Average Credit ), measure of persistence, bragging rights, arguing rights, my-nose-is-put-out rights ..... :-) :-)

Cheers, Mike.

They're called credits, not points. Some regard them as a token of appreciation for your contribution. Others claim that since they're so easily stolen they're just a silly anachronism.

Well, on Christmas Eve I print a summary of the credits I earned that year and put the summary on the kitchen table along with a shot of rum for Santa and a carrot for Rudolph. Still I get only coal in my stocking. I think they're pretty much useless.

Yeah. The value is definitely in the rum, perhaps the carrot, but probably not the coal .... :-)

Cramped up and dealing with all those elves, reindeer and the Mrs. 24-7, 364... yeah, he's a bit suicidal.

Well I'd been worrying about

Well I'd been worrying about Rudolph :

- has he been drinking the rum all along, hence the shiny nose?

- is he sick of being a mere headlight?

- maybe he's been steering, while Santa is sloshed?

Maybe a breathalyser and in-sleigh camera is in order ......

Cheers, Mike.
