i like the web-interface.

Oh, so you're the guy <g. In fact, the best web interface I've ever used
(it's not Microsoft's) is worse than the worst NNTP client I've ever used.
The web interface is horrid, and the lame enhancements like rating and
ranking are a waste of development effort, since they detract from efforts
to actually make the web interface work better.

I've never worried about ratings or rankings. When I started I was getting a
lot of help from the experts, and it's not hard to figure out who they are
without gold stars. After a while I began answering more than I asked, and
all that I cared about was helping people instead of messing them up
further. If someone tells me "Thanks, works great", that's frosting on the
cake.

The folks that have been around a while don't use the CDO interface so
know
little or nothing about the brownie points system.

Just a quick question, I actively check my stats just to keep up on the
number of folks helped (can tell in the morning for example if my late
answers helped) and just noticed that I have no bronze or silver tag.
Not
that it makes my answers any better or anything, was just wondering. FYI
i
hit 50 6 months ago or so and 100 this last month.
