My karma is almost entirely from comments. Karma is a function of time and participation. If you comment a lot, you'll get points because chances are someone somewhere will like what you said.

I care a lot more about the names of people than internet points. I've commented on threads here only to realize days later I was interacting with the creator of a major programming language. Some people are interesting enough that I've bookmarked their comments page.
