If i have no dots, does that make me some sort of forum failure and people are less likely to respond to my posts due to lack a sufficient dots? Because I hate that feeling when I see a post I just wrote and the empty dot things next to it, especially when the person who posts next has all of his dots.
Living in Jersey, Giants fans may say, "Why root for Dallas? Root for the hometown Giants!" To this, the proper response is: "I do root for the home team. I live in America, and I root for America's team!"
