: Hi Spidey,

: I look at the Top 10 about once a month, just out of curiousity. I passed Lee
: once last fall. Guess I just "had to" be #1 at something, just
: one time! The Top Ten list, though, was also a good 'wakeup call' for me
: to stop stretching coffee breaks to post everything I could think of! As
: someone said a long while ago, Shawn fit into the 'Where do they find time
: to make all these posts' category! Was I spending WAAY too much time
: posting, as opposed to building boats or paddling them? I won't tell!

: I think it's a neat indicator of a person's activity--when someone is really
: fired up and has a lot of new ideas and building new things, they post a
: lot, and it's cool to see the indication of that (like you now, or Mike
: Hanks or Mike Allen about 6 months ago).

: I also appreciate Ken Finger's comment. I haven't answered a lot of questions
: recently, unless they call for everyone's comment, or seem to go
: unanswered for awhile. I'm definitely not a bottomless source of
: information--I just answered a lot of questions for awhile because I hit
: those same questions myself, just a year or so before the people who were
: asking them. With the exception of a few people, like Nick, Lee, Joe,
: Eric, and Grant, we're all just amateur builders, learning from each
: other. Some of us are just a few months ahead on the learning curve, but
: that's OK, since some of us started a few years ahead of everyone else!

: I really like the idea of a bio section that Nick mentioned.

: I like the views counter--if someone asks a tough question, and it has a lot
: of views, but few responses, you can see that there's a need for some more
: discussion there.

: My vote: I like all of the features. If everyone out-voted them, I wouldn't
: be too upset, though. It's the great discussions here that are most
: valuable.

: Shawn

I don't usually talk much. I have to agree with Shawn. It is a shareing discussion group -- nothing to be ashame of either. If you do not want your name to be on top 10, alter it as Mike proposed. In the mean time have fun building or talking.
