I agree. Just so you know, it used to be common courtesy on SN to zap people on replies when discussing a topic. That doesn't seem to be done as regularly lately so I can't zap as frequently on replies, especially when it's not reciprocated. I have been courtesy zapping people for more sats than the post itself gets!
