Thanks for the rep. Letting it rest, even hamburgers, is the most common mistake for sure.
I'm never getting out of the red with rep. I'm helping demonstrate the irrelevance of rep - I post, get rep, never get green, and all the rep I give is neutral. Petra put me at something like 999,999,999 neg rep, so I'm red forever.
Can you imagine what would happen if she did that to some of the rep-whores here? :1orglaugh
