I'll just add that if you are interested in helping other users for the sole purpose of gaining points and levels, you will be severely disappointed. Most users don't bother with marking cirrect answers as either helpful or resolving their issues. Just saying...

Apple seems to believe that the greatest value of the points system is merely to indicate the "credibility" of the user - of which it does a fine job.
