Confused about the points system.
On one page of this site, I'm labeled as having 347 points, on another page, 82. This sounds pretty impressive to me, either way, but I'm not sure how I got them, or what they represent.
Is this like the ads in the back of old comic books asking me to "SELL GRIT!" so I can earn a bicycle, X-Ray specs, or a canoe?
Because I have two of those things already, and my fear of cryptozoological lake monsters rule out the third.*

diggI see that I have so far NO points, zero. What are these points, and what are they for? Tickets to NPR gameshows? 500 points and a donation get you a coffee mug? How pointy are they? Are they pointalistic? What is the point? Point me towards information on the points, Please!

There's no telling what those points might be used for. One clever design might be to use them as a filter... say to be used to filter out the input (votes and comments) of anyone that didn't even muster up 200 pts.
I'm not saying that's what they're going to be used for, because I don't know...

I'm clinging to the bottom of the top 20 affiliates, and that's out of, what, upwards of a thousand entries?
No, I'll stick to the notion that they'll review each of us individually, if they're really serious about taking on a new employee from the internet (of all places).
After all, these people work in public radio. What else do they have to do all day besides feed cats, clean their glasses and periodically risk their mortal coils to bring us first-hand accounts of Iraqi civilian hardship?
Wait, actually that last one sounds kind of time consuming, maybe you're right.

...of laughing myself into a stupor every time I read one of your posts. There's spit all over the keyboard and monitor. It's getting so I can't even browse the site without coming upon you unawares - and the rest of the family doesn't have enough time to open their umbrellas. Could you tone it down? Thanks.

I will not be blamed for an saliva-umbrella shortage in your home.
I will NOT.

Hi Kibblesmith, there are a few ways you get points. 10 points for every vote you cast, one point for every comment you make on the boards, and either one or 10 points for every time someone follows an affiliates link from your site to the PRTQ.
That said, points are NOT part of the real ... um, 'point' ... to the contest. There's some possibility that points could earn you non-contest bennies (X-Ray Specs sound pretty cool) but I believe that's still getting kicked around by the contest administrators. In the meantime, I think the points are just a thank-you for being active at the PRTQ, like warm fuzzies.

I assumed as much, but it was still kind of nebulous. Thanks for the clarity.
When I die, you can have 25 of my points (the rest will go to my pampered, ungrateful and entirely fictitious cats).
