It only takes up a small fraction of a square inch on my screen. I dig it. It kinda lets you know how cool people are. Those with low post counts combined with high rep must be cool. Then, take my post count combined with rep and you'll see I'm maybe slightly above average (I guess) and could be cooler, but there are a few who suck worse tham me. And those with high post counts and no rep are probably postwhores or know-it-alls or something of that nature.
