Default Is there any etiquette around Karma Receiving?

I have given Karma out regulary, mainly for good advice or posts that really make me laugh. I don't have a problem with giving, it is the receiving of Karma that troubles me.

People award me karma, and say nice things. Then I am in a quandry and I dither over should I sent them a thank you note or just be aloof and modestly take the compliment without any response.

What do you all do?

It gets a bit silly if you respond to every piece of karma that you get. I just accept it as scant recompense for my wit and sparkling repartee!

This is covered in the Wiki article called Karma.

There also was a recent thread entitled Karma Etiquette.

Dave you obviously missed this last week.

Another coincidence - twilight zone music playing in the background again? This is getting way too spooky.

Karma sent just for you

Just remember the person and karma them when they deserve it, that's all I do. I wouldn't PM unless it was a "chatty" karma and I wanted to respond.
