You will get there @dirkboy41.
1K SP after signing on in December is a good start. You will get there by the Spring if you keep on going. You next goal is 2,500 SP...commenting can only help you in that regard....
There are so many different ways to bring SP into our accounts...it is wonderful when it starts to snowball.
Appreciate the encouraging words, but 99% of it is funded as an investment, but I'm already pleased with the earned SP from interacting on the site. Slowly but surely, I'll get there eventually!
