Re: Reputation system..

To take Jon's point one step further, let's look at the top two members in terms of rep. #1 is Karthik Kanagasabapathy, who shows as a rookie in 1998. #2 is Andy Baker, who shows the same rookie year. Both men have one world championship to their credit; Andy has a CMP Finalist as well. Karthik outranks in CMP Chairman's, 1 to 0. In their time on CD, Andy has roughly twice as many posts as Karthik - does that mean KK is twice as clever / insightful / humo(u)rous / reputable as AB?

(rhetorical question; I wouldn't want anybody to try to answer that.)

By the way, the fella who comes in third to these guys? Just landed another car on Mars. He's gotta use two hands to count them all.

The first page (50 members) is a who's who of important figures; it's encouraging that almost all of them are still active on Chief Delphi - those that aren't are still mainstays at competitions.

It bears noting that DSK is well represented on that list.
