I expected Grellas to be there, and damn, the average score per comment he has is ridiculous.

Rayiner's doesn't make sense, though. An average of 0.75? So he has 57275 comments? Wow.

Rayiner, to his credit, engages controversy without fear. I'm sure it leads to some interesting voting.

The average score is limited to recent comments (for some definition of recent, no idea about the specifics).

The API we used has a limit of 0.5MB data, so pushed all the recent comments up to that limit.
