ha! well sir...I've spent too much time on the thing but it's been the best way to help grow my account so in that way it's been time well spent.
But no I haven't really pushed it nearly as hard as I could but that DID break some records accidently.

I wasn't trying or anything, I don't keep track of anything and never know where I am as far as stats, I just try to talk to as many people as I can in a meaningful way.
You don't seem to need such a thing though because you are steadily growing in rep and followers so it's different for each of us I think.
