Tsk, tsk. There are examples of posters with higher scores than those having more than 3x as many posts. Not to single someone out, but Jim Schulman is one such case. Anyway, for you, the board's most prolific suggestion maker, I'll add a profile option to suppress it.

FYI, it isn't displayed to anyone having a MVP of less than 2 or to guests for the very reasons you mention. The score itself is based on long-term contributions. Without giving too many hints about the basis of the score, it would take a participant many weeks to move up even one point. If they're engaging in MPP behavior, it would be embarrassingly evident to anyone else. There is no popularity contributor to the score (so-called karma points). But if the MVP score turns into an egofest, it's gone.

CHAPTER 9 - Are You Anal Enough For Espresso?
Detail oriented, anal retentive, obsessive- the definition depends on the observer. When you go off on a Holy Quest, you begin by shopping very carefully for sandals. You're going to be out in the desert for a long time.

Does that count as an entry? :wink:

I just found out that this was to become a posting contest. I never received any sort of E-mail.. was i supposed to? Anyway, I decided to not bother to play this game. Time better spent sitting in the present my brother sent me. Ahhh...
Espresso! My Espresso!

See "Suppress display of MVP scores" option in your profile.

We have a "weaner"... congratulations, Scott, you're the HB 2008 MVP. I'll contact you offline about starting the development of the blend sponsored by Paradise Roasters.

Another Christmas (Festivus?) miracle!!

As the proud winner I will work towards world peace....Oh wait, that's Miss America. I will be counting on all of you for help with this. I will try to design a great espresso blend, which will be a challenge as I know little about such work. I am sure the great people at Paradise will help me along, but I am counting on this forum. I will post when I hear from them.
