Its not a top by category ranking of all HN posters, there's a merged list of top commenters and leaders, and then the ranking is from that. Being on the bottom of that (as I am for agreeability) doesn't mean you are still ahead of everyone on HN that didn't make the list.

You are being pedantic. I am being sort of humorous.

I think the main gist of my point stands though: Ranking dead last on this list hardly equates to "dropped on your head." That's like saying "I only won one of the less important Nobel Prizes. God, I'm such a loser." Or something.

I like edw. I like a lot of people here. But sometimes folks here really suffer from tunnel vision in a bad way.

Cheers.
