Replying to [JMS wei]: I find many of Top rankers keep their rank by just posting a one liner to say its good or its great or something similar. Their postings add no real value . Why dont you give negative points to those who post without adding any value. At the going rate the top ranker is certain to be a "Robot". Best of luck to this world. Sukumar
