An earlier draft of this post that Sam sent me had "nearly everyone can help there". I'll ask him to put it back. But it's not like this is much of a barrier. Even this one comment moved you significantly (as of right now at least).

Just curious, but are you saying that because of the relative position of the parent's comment in this thread, or is there a threshold for karma that unlocks seeing the karma on comments other than your own?

Just click on his username.

Fortunately enough people "agreed" with me to bump my total karma just over the threshold.

The problem is this comment was a total fluke really. I have _tried_ engaging in comments before with the results of only a vote or two usually.

Had my previous comment not been up-voted so much, it likely would have taken me another 10 comments to reach the threshold for just flagging.
