Please introduce me to a PR company that will buy karma-drunken accounts. So far, the only thing I've thought of is eBay and I haven't quite had the resolve.

Time to move on? - EDIT - Downmodder, I'm asking rms why he wants to sell his account.

Nah, it's just that the karma doesn't mean anything to me, I'd come back with a different account.

Do you get any other privileges with such high karma, or is the color change it?

Question: Why is this on hacker news?

I agree with you. I've been banging the drum of content diversity but I feel that old Digg/reddit submissions that are no doubt interesting to hackers is something that will detract from the value of the overall focus, which is mainly geeky-startup (at least that's what I see) stuff.
