(Similar to the worst credit card offenders crushing their credit ratings.) But the starting point assumes the desire to quantify, and it's hard for the non-writer to quantify it. You don't know where the poop is unless it's your dog, or you happened to step in it. | |

So, I agree with your idea in theory, but I think that serial "favor requesters" would be the least likely to keep track of the balance of favors. | |
