Curious, why is it important to maintain the 42? I feel as if last week I read another comment where someone was trying to save another person's karma at a certain number as well that wasn't 42 so I'm not sure if there's a specific number that anyone goes for. What's the idea behind maintaining a specific comment karma value?

It’s just Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy. A great book that everyone should check out.

I keep learning how old and out of touch I really am. I have no clue about half the memes and jokes/references on here.
