just for you, buddy;

but what I'm trying to say is this; people's perception is more important than how the system works, because from a technical point of view there's in fact no problem, people just have to make better posts :D
it took some time for you, but by now you got $100, and your next post will probably get traction much faster and more $$ ... so, it's working ... you're getting there, right?
