hey Kristi?

just want to say, in case you inferred incorrectly - i don't see them as 'a waste of time', and understand they're designed to be fun. i CAN see how they can be a cute l'il thing/addition to the site. all i was saying regarding this aspect, for myself personally, since it's highly unlikely that i'll ever be in a position to qualify for a badge, is that since they don't/will not apply to me, they're something i feel neutral about.

hope you've a good weekend, sweetie! :)
