i did link my account after having a 1st look @ my karma.
the karma didn't change, which i was sort of expecting as i haven't developed or tested anything yet.

1st reaction was actually "where would i have a karma from, if not from my posts ?!?"

and as i pointed out earlier, even though i sincerely hope that business will continue as usual for any foreseeable future, i'm going to spend time on testing new OSS replacements for closed components rather then developing of testing stuff within the semi-closed environment right now :-{
respectively contribute to set up such an environment, 1st ¦:-}
