5 Speed Gear ratio advice?

LMAO, big deal.
Well I think likes are a barometer to gauge the usefulness of my contributions. I check the likes from time to time, to keep track of my usefulness here. It's been running about the same, since the beginning; so if nothing else, it seems I'm at least consistent.

I think it would also be useful to know how many dislikes I have received. Cuz really, it seems I could learn something from that, and learning stuff makes aging more agreeable.
