Are You Sure I Can Be Trusted?

Tue Feb 26, 2008 at 03:02:59 PM PDT

So I log into Daily Kos today and I find these two little buttons under each and every comment, saying "Recommend" and "Hide."

And it suddenly occurs to me:  After nearly four years of lurking, posting the occasional comment (and the even more occasional diary), what do you know?  I'm a trusted user.

I feel like Steve Martin in The Jerk.

William S. Martin: Good things are gonna start happening to me now.
[Crazy guy with gun scrolls through [Daily Kos trusted users]]
Sniper: Martin, William S... Sounds like a typical bastard.

I have to admit I was tempted once to put up a comment shamelessly asking for mojo to become a TU.  I even considered putting up a "KOS:  TRUST MY F-ING USERNESS" diary.

As if I didn't waste enough time on this site already!

Any suggestions on what to do with my newfound status (while it lasts)?
