in the last couple of weeks, if I remember, I have rec'd allmost every thread I could rec. (I fgure anyone who starts a thread here these days deseerves a rec, just because.)

Other than that, I rec'd a lot of threads in the past, to be sure, but I never used to make a point of it.

Thing is, it was obvious for a long time that some concerted action was going on with respect to recs and unrecs. So, I never paid attention to them.
