Yes. You and the other person get a credit. There's a full list of actions and their value listed in the credits section: http://www.answermug.com/credits/faq
Because I didn't fill one out the last three times and I lost a whole lotta alimony, buster. Our emotions are not worth the LIKE I am asking you to post each time we meet.
Is this an opportunity that says, you would like us to read your palm?? Please allow me to step up to the plate...
It looks like you have a very long life line.. And you have had and/or are going to have 3 long meaningful relationships. One in the first trimester of your life. One 1/2 through and the biggest and longest until death as your third. It's good to see you are faithful Randy D. Of course, only the hand knows... Giggles!
GIVE them? Now I am losted. What is the point of that one? I am NOT giving my points to anyone. Sorry. I will LIKE you, but my points are what I earned on here. That makes no sense whatsoever. That is my tally sheet. It's how I used to keep track on AB.
When you just give them away, it makes them less than what the intention was in the first place. Who cares how many points there are if someone is giving you half of theirs? I don't like that idea at all.
ATTENTION: Do not GIVE me any points. I can do that on my own, Muggers. Just LIKE me if you like the answer and I will do the rest myself.
Wait, Roshandra, won't you go blind or grow hair on your palms if you like yourself too much or too often? (I'm merely looking out for your welfare; I always do.)
Randall, are you speaking of masturbatory tendencies? We are not allowed to even log on if we are found with that anomaly. No, the masterba"teurs"* are in the Adult Section.
*not to be confused with "masterbators". Masterba"teurs" are gourmet masterbaters (or is it bators?) and must be given their own special "adult" rooms so as not to infect us hand virgins. (I don't do that. We all know it is dirty down there)
Haven't you ever given someone a gift certificate so they decide what they would like. Karen uses her points in the same manner. Besides, whether it's a gift certificate or cash or you purchase a gift for someone, it remains a gift nonetheless. And let's bring this down to the least common denominator here. These are "VIRTUAL" gifts, where nobody actually "gets" anything. So if Karen wants to use her points that way, good for her.
You said when someone just gives them away, it makes them less than what the intention was. If that was the case and it was AM's intention they not be given away, why do you think they created the option of doing just that. Don't you think they would have not made than option available if it wasn't their intention? So perhaps, contrary to your belief, it WAS the intention of AM to allow members this choice. You said who cares how many points there are. I think you do because you even care how one gets their points. Personally, I could give a hoot about points. I never even knew how to look up my points until Karen said she was giving some of hers away so I asked someone.
Besides, if the high value you seem to place on points is shared by the majority of members, what that tells me is when one member gives their points to another, they must think quite highly of them that they're showing their appreciation.
You said you don't like that idea at all but nobody is forcing it down your throat. It's for those that want the option. It's rather sad when some equate points to popularity/value on some tally sheet.
