Mark wanted to bring some geekiness in.
It was originally put in the profile next to people's posts. There is a thread about it kicking around somewhere. Big one too, about 5 pages long.One day Canada will rule the world, and then we'll all be sorry.Comment

Ack... how did I miss this? (Probably has something to do with those 6 days when I didn't use the Internet in Rome/Paris)"The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists."

You are not the first one to ask. There's a huge thread (currently 15 pages) about this topic (http://www.apolyton.net/forums/showt...threadid=52631), but it contains only some answers. Clarifications are obviously desperately needed, but as I and apparently also others don't know the answers, nobody submitted any explanations to the FAQ, yet (or did I miss something?).Comment

I looked at the explanations early in the thread but most seem to address stats that don't exist

Hmm... There is only so much I can read at 11pm."The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists."

That's why I said it should be in the FAQ. Sorry, I can't answer your question, because the explanations in the thread are unclear/incomplete.Comment

Yeah... I got the A and the HP part, but the other two are a complete mystery

That has somehow to do with how long you've been registered and how much you posted in that time. But I don't know more specifics.
Mark, care to give us some info?Comment

Somewhere someone made a graph explaining it. If you really care, other web sites use a statistic system. They might have an explaination.Originally posted by Lucilla
