I liked it very much that you spent a lot of thoughts on the robustness of 
your algrorithm (I think this is one of its key advantages over so many other 
naive karma systems out there) and that in this stage it is already 
restistant to many attacks. So I am confident that sock puppet and minor edit 
attack (Aaron's maintenance edit analysis is part of it) can be solved as 
well by you. :-)

That's true. The reason is that it takes less effort (= personal work time) to 
remove X bytes than to add them. Perhapes some weight factor on different 
kinds of edits can avoid this.
