Well...I guess I am adopting a "wait and see" attitude as well. Something strange, though: my XP seems to be increasing faster than it did before the overhaul. Odd...
Well, you've made a lengthy series of excellent posts here. I know I've been voting up your comments. I would assume, though I haven't checked, that others have as well. And you're being rewarded for it, under the rules of the new system.
Congratulations. I like what I see of your comments, I'm glad your XP is increasing as a result.
