Don't you just love it when you spend time carefully composing a comment to go with someones post, you think it adds something worthwhile, (Often wrongly in my case it seems.) you submit it, and then find that someone has grabbed double points by posting "OK". ( It is the only time I think about points.)
If you want to get "first reply" website reward points, go online when most agnostic members are asleep. That was my case when I lived in Thailand, since the time is 13 hours ahead of EST. From 3 AM to 6 AM you will find few people on the website.
