flower90, sometimes posters are uneccessarily chatty or perhaps the question (or answer) contains objectionable material and sometimes it just a great mystery... but some Q or A's are removed by the esteemed Editor. If a person has been helped by an answer they can, and often do Rate the Answer. This allows them to add between 1 and 4 stars under your name next to the answer. Sometimes, if you're lucky, someone actually says "thanks, big help!" Welcome here... BTW, I'm in U.S. so the site is truly multi-lateral...
