<P>
I was idly browsing the [Saints in our Book] page a week or so ago and noticed there were no monks at all in the 19,000s. None. That was most unusual and caught my eye. At that time, I was in the high 18,000s (with [Your Mother] and his gang of four sneaking up on me from behind). When I finally scaled the 19,000 peak, I checked again, hoping to see myself, and myself alone, in this exalted 19,000 category. I was shattered when I saw that an interloper had got there before me, one [brian_d_foy]! Now, his many blockbuster nodes notwithstanding, I doubted that he could have got past [Your Mother] and his gang of four that quickly, so the only other possibility was that he had sneakily <I>descended</I> onto the 19,000 plateau.
At that time, brian was still ahead of me, but has since dropped one behind me.
Hmmm ... I hope I'm not a suspect now.

Here's how it currently stands:

[FunkyMonk] and [toolic] are currently engaged in a gripping duel I see.
<B>Update:</B> Twelve hours after writing this, I notice that toolic has just moved from one behind FunkyMonk to one ahead (18759 to 18758).
