I wonder, for those who have a "real" rating, ie: play OTB FIDE or ELO tournies, what is your rating vs that of RHP? Is it higher, lower, or about the same? I've never played OTB tournies, so what would my rating be if I did?

Every rating is different on different sites. It's very confusing, trying to estimate progress or lack thereof. In addition, you have your USCF ratings and British rating system and ELO, which doesn't help either. Why they all can't get together and use one ratings system I don't know. Maybe we should just play the game as best we can and let the chips fall where they may.

We can all convert our ratings to elo :-)

As for RHP rating, it doesnt mean jack. The site is for fun chess not serious study :-)
