It's either Timmy...

Or alliteration...

D'oh!!! you were so close, you picked the wrong one.

For correct answer I would have given you 100 recs! to bad they are now classified as "pointless" or worthless by some guy who plays drums and likes to dress up like santa and prey on the young.

Is it too late to say alliteration?

Funny- I could have sworn it was Timmy. Ok, point taken. I'll fetch my coat.

I would say that total recs are a bit pointless because it all depends really on the total number of posts that the user has written.

I would say that where recs are useful is when browsing the "Recommended" link. Where individual posts have a large number of recs hence being the most interesting to read.

Good point. Albeit a spherical point. A pointless rec for you in a pointless thread.

Agreed. This space could be used for something a little more informative, such as Player's Rating.

If you take my rating (1542) and divide by the number of recs I have (604) you get 2.56 rating points per rec.

In 1990 Dave Stewart had a 2.56 ERA for the Oakland Athletics. Spooky, isn't it?

Curtis Joseph, in his first year as Goaltender for the Toronto Maple Leafs ('98-'99) had a GAA of 2.56.

That would be hard, but I'm sure it exists somewhere. Finding a post of yours with sarcasm... well that would just be too easy.
