I REALLY BELIEVE that most people don't come to Hive for the money.
I think a lot of people do come to Hive looking for money, but if they stay.. they stay for what you say... for a chance to be heard and to express themselves.
The proposals that you mention are very interesting, it would help me a lot to set amounts of comments... in my case set a maximum, because i spend hours and hours reading here in Hive and i forget about my personal life, it is addictive.
Thank you very much for your participation, but you missed the tags #HIVE, #HiveComments, #posh on twitter and #hivecomments on your blog.
