Everybody gives them to you. Look at the lower left corner of this box. See the Hebrew star? If you click on it a box opens which allows you to give reputation points to the person who posted. You can give a point to who ever you want. But, you can't give the same person two in a row. Some CDG members even beg for them. As far as their value, I won't know until I need a donor organ. Fortunately, I have more points than many of you and my privates are too old to be desirable to nearly all of you.
