well I did it and mine is in the top
1/1000th of users however on my friends
list there are three journals with
a higher rating than mine. Actually you
can just type in any other user's name
and get their results. In general I
observe that friends tend to accumulate over
time, rather as a monk early on told me that
"any monk who lives long enough becomes
an Archimandrite (Prior or often honorary
title) and an Archimandrite who lives long
enough becomes a Bishop" this is not
exactly true well...and off the topic...
but friends do tend to increase and secondly
it does seem that out of the total of
theoretically 9 million accounts half have
hom real connections at all so the database
was 4 an 1/2 million and of these a great
number have very few connections.

Steve,
I see you used the complaint generator
on Nick Cobbs, Al Green and Bishop Tikhon
on the usenet which I visited for the first
time yesterday, looking at lists a little more
than usual to see where the Bishop of California
will next post. I was his class mate as was Joel
who wrote in, for the three months...
Do I understand that those worthies, Al and Nick
did not realize what it was?
I have met Al by the way and he is a normal fellow
although he allows himself to live a vivid fantasy
life on the internet...Nick I am guessing is bad
news and the other I will not comment on.
+S

I know none of them personally, but I have known Al and Nick for a long time on Usenet. They often post quite useful stuff -- Nick posts lives of the saints, articles on feasts, and so on, and Al posts news from various parts of the Orthodox world ( ... )

Complaints generator etc. methodius April 6 2006, 18:57:34 UTC

Concerning the bishop, I would value your opinion enormously higher than that of any of those posting on Usenet thus far, and if you think there is anything I ought to know, I'd be grateful if you sent it to me by e-mail rather than in public.

I'm not sure that I "need to know" as they say in the spy stories, and I'm not one for ecclesiastical gossip, especially when it is all so far away. But sometimes my bishop does ask me to find out things for him about far away places -- and so if he asked me about this, it might be better to be informed from a reliable source. He once asked me to find out more about two episcopi vagantes who had written to the Holy Synod of our Patriarchate asking to be received into the Church. I did follow up, and found that neither request was genuine, and that he could safely tell the synod that they could ignore them.

I'm not sure that they realise they've been had, even now. It's worse than I thought.

I hoped that everyone would realise that what was produced by the complaints generator was so over-the-top that it might make people think twice about their own ad hominems. As I said to Bishop Seraphim, I'm not sure whether that is funny or sad.
