bottom downunder!..

Twas a close finish, mind you!
Now if I only knew what a contribution rating is, I could try to beat
you to the bottom of the list this week ;-)

Erik.

..
As I see it, neither of you has much to brag about, for you are only #1 and
#2 because of a technicality, whereby anyone who posted less than twice per
period was quite arbitrarily excluded. Also note that the time-period was
chosen arbitrarily as well -- undoubtedly in order to keep me from heading the
list.



BTW, the correct formula for determining a poster's approximate contribution
rating (cR) is:

P * pi(2) + f(3)
----------------------
ss/2 + m(2)



Where P = your actual number of postings
f = a fudge-factor determined by the USCF
ss = # of posts which mention Sam Sloan
m = # of postings containing the word Mensa


The formula USCF uses to determine the fudge-factor is quite complicated; for
more information, contact Kenneth "Slone" (deliberately misspelled to protect
my contribution rating).

Boy,
Somebody has a lot of extra time on their hands.

Well, enough time to write (or download) a simple analysis script.

Could you trim your quoted text, please? It's only needed to give context
to your post and anyone who needs to read the whole article can just use
their newsreader to go back to it.

Nice statistics can be found on : http://netscan.research.microsoft.com/
It takes only seconds to do some research over the usenet.
And they probably filter out spammers ;-)

Apparently it does not take much to get on this list, as I hardly ever
post here. Maybe I had replied to one of Sam Sloan's posts?

Where is Sam anyway? I didn't see him
