What's there not to click? It's a link to a picture of Matt Smith's Doctor Who, saying, "Sheep are cool!"

Tighter than a buntline hitch.

Yes.

It gets you huge discounts in Winchells on jelly donuts. (It really has no meaningful purpose)
James_Parsons wrote: Do other people see it?
Not always: some people just never get it.
Welcome and enjoy.

Many. And not all "him".

so thanks for that question - the man to answer it is the very helpful and talented Christian Graus - he would be our most helpful member who likes nothing more than to answer newbies questions. Cheerful good natured type, move over Ace Rimmer we've got Christian - He tells me he particularly enjoys assisting with homework assignments. Drop him an email he'll be keen to hear from you.

Decrease the belief in God, and you increase the numbers of those who wish to play at being God by being “society’s supervisors,” who deny the existence of divine standards, but are very serious about imposing their own standards on society.-Neal A. Maxwell

There are a number of people, quite a few, who regularly support the forums with about 10 outstanding participant. These can be identified by their reputation. Anonymous, anyone with an ounce of paranoia will be anonymous on the interweb!
Reputation is earned, this will tell you how FAQ[^]

The community here is so slack that over 11 million souls can fit into it with only occasional belches from its servers. However, it is important you know that we are all irregular emanations of Bob, and that the regularity of Bob cannot be experienced directly here ... by us. One could say that Bob knows all of us in toto, while we know Bob only by the shadows of his radiance creating vortices of turbulence in our own shadows which anti-alias them so we perceive smooth edges instead of barbed wire.James_Parsons wrote: What is the purpose of reputation.

No mystery there: it's an attempt to recognize technical excellence in contributions to CP. While many claim not to see it, the truth is everyone sees it, and only a few understand it. There are a few, here, with very high reputations to whom reputation is very, very, important ... to the point that they are obsessed with it: imho, they are worth ignoring.
