Elaine, hi! When I saw your post it reminded me of "What are these Acorns I'm seeing around here?" You'll find this in your profile telling you how many acorns you have. At the end of that it says "What's this?" Click on that, and one of the ways it says to get them , is to offer a "useful" comment...I'm not entirely sure what is considered a "useful" comment...But I don't think I've ever gotten one...Maybe it's subjective? Or maybe it's those comments that get thumbs?
It does sound like a good idea though.
