Because you save it for what's important.
I'm sort of joking, but the truth is that when one is young, so many things seem important. By our age, one knows that some things are important and need to be remembered-like where are my glasses? and some can be looked up! I'm good with that!

I think its fine the way it is but if you decide to upgrade let me know. I'll kick in a $20.
I hand out a lot of thanks because I appreciate thoughtful responses even when I don't totally agree.
"If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen."

Well .. according to my screen, I currently have 5,300 'thanks'. Which is nice ...
From a purely practical standpoint, this version of your 'thanks' facility seems unusable .. unless, of course, I truly have just earned myself 5,300 'thanks' .. ? Anyway, it's good for the ego .. if precious little else .. personally, I'm driven to ignoring it altogether.
It's That Bloody Foreigner Again !!!
I had the same problem. Go to recent thanks Open up your last thanks, then close it. The numbers should reset back to zero.
I can't say I'm fond of my own thanks given out showing now, but it's hardly any big deal. If this dumbass computer is so damned smart, you'd think it would know I already know who I thanked.
