jeanne, when I received my first star after only 100 posts, I felt myself to be the object of not only unimaginable expectations, but also of jealousy and envy. Therefore, I subconsciously lessened my output of such excellent posts that had allowed me to rocket to that milestone. I guess in my case, the star system has been a detriment to a once-promising career as a literary luminary. I bear no ill will - my choices were my own. But perhaps my experience can serve as a cautionary tale for future up-and-comers.
