Why your ego gotta want reps? don't you feel that is rather shallow? Something you cannot eat, feel, touch smell or benefit is what you want?
May as well blow up a balloon, and let the air out and feel that air hit you in the face, at least it has more substance than "rep points" on a forum dude.
Oh and btw, Thanks for the Eid wishes.... oh wait - that hasn't happened yet meh
