>>>Perhaps my issue - as it seems that I have one - is that they are grouped together in the standings. I think most people look at the standings as a list of those people in the community who provide the most help. I'm good, but God help them if they start browsing my name directly for solutions like I do Cetin, George and others. If I was at the top of the list for providing issues and rewarding solutions then that would be quite another thing.

Well, at least, someone stood up and offer them a path to the solution. <s> And, when users browse those questions, they'll find the path to the solution. So, all that is valuable. Now, as for the fact that the person who pointed the path gets its instead of the creator of the FAQ, that's an issue that I don't really know how it could be achieved. I guess it's one of those situations within the boundaries.
