Fun with "Reputation"

I just noticed a few things:

- I was going to five someone a few reputation points, but a message popped up that said I needed to spread some reputation around before I gave it to this person again. That made me wonder: I know you can see the list of people that have given reputation points to you in the "User CP," but is there a way to see a list of people to whom you have given points? Over time it would be interesting to see if some people show up on a regular basis or not.

- When looking at the list of members in the "Members" section, sorted by "Reputation" I noticed something. Some folks have very high reputations (and therefore presumably a high number of reputation points), and have made hundreds (or even thousands!) of posts. Others have very high reputations with only a few dozen posts. So is there a way to see a members "points per post" ratio?

It is interesting to see who has a very high ratio (e.g. Matt Adams may not post with high frequency, but his ratio sugggests that every single post has high value and is really worth reading), and who has a low one (if I had >1000 posts and only a few reputation points, I would think about whether many of my posts were just irritating drivel that did not contribute to the discussions - either that or I was making WAY TOO MANY really bad jokes ).
