THIS is exactly what I had surmised. Thanks for confirming!

I'm happy with my 4 stars. If I get more people will be expecting my posts to be more insightful. That would not suit my RE'd mind.

Fact: Spiders crawl in your mouth at night when looking for a warm place to hide. It is well known that people who sleep eat at least 3 spiders a month.

That is incorrect. The spiders are investigating the reported 7 pounds of undigested meat in your colon

Do you personally know any people that don't sleep?

According to Scientific American this is simply not true.
https://www.scientificamerican.com/a...e-they-sleep1/
And...How Stuff Works - again, not true.
https://animals.howstuffworks.com/ar...s-in-sleep.htm
And there are others that say the same....

Well, I feel us six stars people have been put upon...We all have over 1000 and I have over 2000 posts and we only have one more star then someone with 500 posts?
Target2019 has over 4000 posts.....
This is patently unfair and needs to be remedied ASAP...what's the point of endless posts if we are not rewarded?

Plus it maxes out at 5k posts for your 7th star and last star.
Think about how REWahoo and W2R feel with 40k+ posts.

And I have no clue as to how many stars I have! Posting this to find out..... .
EDIT: Oh, you’re right. Just 7. Boo-hoo. SO unfair.

Averaging about 1 post per day is simply ordinary.
Use fewer words, and post twice as often?
