That's exactly what I do, especially if I don't know the nym.

Like getting to know them and rewarding them not only for current behavior, but also for past behavior.

I think getting a zap for the past is even more exciting since you know that someone took the time to read your old stuff and liked it so much they zapped. For some reason, I believe the "zap sense" is less active for past posts.

But my theory is with more users + better features regarding this, more old content will be rediscovered by more people with stronger "zap sense"

Thus, infinite zaps. lol

I just hope that I am not the only one doing this, haha

@nemo had a good point when I mentioned this: maybe I am projecting too much, haha
