Tongue-in-cheek musings based on the Chatter rule Tom posted and some of other replies on this topic:

Hell this thread has drifted so far off topic, I am worried Michel will dock a few points off my total just for starting this thread. Then again, just think how may 2-pointers I can get by marking all of the replies as helpful and one of them as the solution! ROFL!!!!!!!

And to think what my original post was about, this is just too funny.....

>Anyway, there is a major problem with the points system that I'm surprised nobody has mentioned before. It starts with a question: In what way was Renoir's point standing calculated so that he ends up in the company of such wise and prolific problem solvers as Sergey, Vlad, Cetin and George? It's not by answering the most posts with a correct solution that's for sure. Unless I am very much mistaken and wiser than even I give myself credit for, it's a flaw in the system and how stars are allocated. If I am right, it should bring much disfavor from those more deserving...
