You're right. I don't share your and Paul's obsession with ratings and rankings and when I see a ranking that I don't even "understand", my aversion against it only grows bigger. Sorry if a small touch of humour disturbed you. Well, no, I'm not even sorry about it but I won't bother you again here; I'll go play outside with JD.

Thank you very much for your explanation and decision, and you're quite right about my "obsession" and being touchy - and I don't share your kind of humor. Cheers
