Oh! points encourage people.

    Correct answer

    You know it's bull when they actually have to explain in their UI why they have a certain bogus feature implemented at all. If it's not obvious ...hmm?

    Can you imagine other functions worded the same way?

    "Post Message" - this allows people to see the post you wrote, so they can answer for points and you can track answers.

    It would be a big button.

    as to why a intellegent sane person would end up in a pointless quest where we all have to track the answers, which in themselves are pointless.

    I do notice a big increase in "thank you" followed by "you're welcome" followed by six other back and forth post-count inflating inanities.

    Is that a word?  If it isn't it should be.  In fact, we need an "inanity" flag.  I nominate this post.
