Query for webmaster (because Roger won't know)
« on: April 25, 2008, 05:16:41 AM »
What does that "Contribution +10/-0" thing mean on the left hand side under our names?

Is it something we should be striving to improve, or something?

The first number is how many brain cells everyone thinks you have. The second is how many people here like you.

I see that with you, Mince, the second figure is a minus number ::)

That's not the maximum - I know of at least another 7 people that don't like you, over and above 65,535.
I apologise, in advance.

Is it because they couldn't fit any more numbers in Pennsylvania ?

No, not really. I don't get very many chances to prove what a genius I am.

And there we have it. It means, "Look at me, and how clever I am doing something that you lot of menials know nothing about".  ::)

Actually, if I do explain it, I'll look like a geek. This was something I knew at the age of fourteen.

Wow, that's even more impressive. Tell Tarquin - he'll fill me in on it when I next see him in a year or so.
