Great idea.  Appreciation is a huge motivator for people to continue and increase their contribution in any aspect of life.

Thanks!

Grace
She takes the blame
She covers the shame
Removes the stain
It could be her name

Grace
It`s a name for a girl
It`s also a thought that
Changed the world

And when she walks on the street
You can hear the strings
Grace finds goodness
In everything

Grace
She`s got the walk
Not on a ramp or on chalk
She`s got the time to talk

She travels outside
Of karma, karma
She travels outside
Of karma

When she goes to work
You can hear the strings
Grace finds beauty
In everything

Grace
She carries a world on her hips
No champagne flute for her lips
No twirls or skips
Between her fingertips

She carries a pearl
In perfect condition
What once was hurt
What once was friction
What left a mark
No longer stings

Because grace makes beauty
Out of ugly things

Grace finds beauty
In everything

Grace finds goodness
In everything

I wouldn't worry too much about it. Most of us ignore the karma feature. I am too busy enjoying true grace and/or playing with my VG-99.

A 'Like' or even a 'High-Five' button but, 'Karma"? Really? Karma only exists if you believe in it and even then, it plays on some cosmic fear and/or guilt trip to 'do good' ... OR ELSE! All due respect, I don't believe in anything that deals with obedience through fear or guilt. If someone deserves kudos and props then 'kudos' it shall be but 'Karma? ...Nope, not from me, thank you.

Good points. I agree with you. The Karma wording comes as default from the forum software we use and we never bothered to considered an alternative but maybe we should. Will look into this sometime.

I wouldn't fret over the word "Karma". Simply put, the law of cause and effect. We judge whether good or bad, eg. hand on hot stove, OUCH = bad karma. Giving your ole lady some roses should be good karma. Drop your GR 55 off the balcony, "ouch" ... BAD KARMA. Gumtown creates software editor for GR 55, VERY GOOD KARMA.
