I brought that up a year or so ago as well. one of the drawbacks is that a whole slew of people could "bump" someones rep, but that doesnt mean anything more than people like them. kinda like myspace friends. you can have 5320478 of them, but it doesnt mean anything.

tho LS1LT1.com does have an "experience" type thing, that is essentially the same thing. when someone answers a question or posts up some good advice, others will click and add to their "tech rep" so that others will know that they can trust the advice that person is giving.
