: Adam and Ms. K: Would you two still be pushing for the WG ranking system to be based on the total number of bills if you two weren't the top two users in this category?

Hi Chris,
Ten top users is what was the original rank, and obviously the people who enter the most bill ARE the top "USERS" having absolutely nothing to do with the point system. The only thing I ever objected to was being deprived because we lost points every time we entered bills. I dropped from #2 to #5 I felt like we ere being punished. We do not expect to be at the top forever , and we are good sports. In fact we have become very friendly with Doug who we expect to be number one in the near future. He works hard, and he certainly deserves to move up on the list. I have been entering lots of bill lately and saying "the hell with the ranks" because I am loving getting hits all over the place. I hope others are as thrilled with their accomplishments. And it IS an accomplishment to get lots of hits and double and triple etc hit. I also consider the "total hits" as my actual hits, because a bill being hit several times--to me is more an accomplishment then just one hit. No one has ever agreed with me on this, and thats okay, but in my mind---I am thrilled to get multiples and the locations fascinate me. In reality every column of stats is a rank. A person may be #1 rank in one list and # 25 in another as it works out. We have to give Joshua's system time to work. Thats the only way to see . Ithink it may be very good as there are not such big "swings" from day to day. It seems to be a pretty solid system so far. MsK
