Other members might also be very useful, but "these members" are actually known for it.

It also shows that this member is appreciative of other members, because it includes the number of thanks they have given, in addition to the number of thanks they have received.

I'm so accustomed to this inclusion, that I was actually surprised when I first came here and saw that it wasn't included. It feels weird to not be able to "rep" someone for an especially helpful post.
On this forum it will turn into NOTHING but a popularity contest. Garbage in, garbage out..
