>Once upon a time I seem to recall listings being posted of who got how many points. I can't locate that on the system now; so maybe the thing has changed. If the point system is no longer used that way, then I will humbly backtrack and agree that maybe it is worth using. My problem with it was that when it started up, it's purpose seemed to be that of creating a 'competition' which [I thought] served to denigrate the volunteer nature of the system that already existed.

You probably missed the press release earlier on this year.
