People here are waiting hand and foot on George...
that makes him the " Richest Player " ( i.e. the Richest Nym ).
I don't think that anybody here waits hand and foot on anybody. It
is mush simpler than you think. Most of George's questions are
basic and very simple, so almost any reader can answer them.
That's why he gets replies almost immediately (even though many
are irritated by his manner to ask again and again the same
thing).
As you probably know yourself, quite often Usenet answers go far
beyond original question and provide additional details. It
provokes more knowledgeable readers to weigh in. Then a thread
drifts off topic towards esoteric matters and little known
nuances.
No one fawns over Igor Tandetnik because he gaves complete and
accurate answers, which rarely require any correction or addition.
And when they do require an addition or correction, then it is
made mostly by contributors of his league, which aren't many. It
gives you a wrong impressions that Igor's posts are less counted.
I think that rank system based on amount of replies is inaccurate,
to say the least.
