With your last post you've earned one more point.

You can't spend it for anything but it's a point! Be proud of every points you've collected.

Spongebob Squarepants didn't get a pair of squeaky boots from Mr. Krabs for nothing,

he earned his points.

The points may not help you, but when I post a game and ask, "what could I have done better?" and players suggest counterattacking earlier with a ...c5, etc. I does help me.  When I comment on questions about openings, tactics, etc. it also causes me to reflect on what I'm saying, double-check my sources, etc. and therefore helps cement key things in my mind.

Exactly Mick, Chess.com truly has a helpful community. And we should all do our best to be kind, and relevant to keep it that way.
