I noticed today that Papercuts! is W of the day. Vaguely remembering the man, I clicked on his profile to see when he last posted. It was about two years ago, well before the ratings system was implemented, and yet... He's been rated three times.
W-list won't let me sort by number of votes, so I'll ask: Is there some kind of automatic rating system, or are you crawling the archives and rating everyone, CRZ? :)

You can still (re)rate anybody at any time. I believe there are people around here who are still pining for him and still resent me for telling him to take it down a notch (or whatever I did to piss him off in reaction to whatever HE did to annoy me...which I seem to remember was posting a zillion times about Shockwave Flash movies [I am exaggerating] ).
I keep meaning to erase ALL the ratings as a stunt so we can all start over, but I never get around to it.
Could be some people went back through his old posts. I know I did. It's fun going back and remembering the old threads. And what an angry angry man Papercuts! was.
Please DON'T bring Papercuts! back. He was just too abrasive and condescending. I don't regret CRZ's banning at all, whatever the reasoning at the time was.
