LanX, I expect you're well-satisfied to make the top 50 ... and proud of being a full three spots ahead of your hero sundialsvc4.

Sorry, but any list of top 50 all time monks that has eyepopslikeamosquito in third place has no credibility. As if that were not enough, the inexplicable appearance of sundialsvc4 in the top 50 had me checking if the date of the post was early April.

I was further surprised by the non-appearance of PM legends Erudil and brian_d_foy. While Erudil only made 13 posts, they all garnered over 100 XP, their current node reps being: 793, 667, 415, 373, 320, 225, 211, 210, 205, 159, 144, 116, 104.

Two more pieces of PM arcana:

• The vandalism of brian_d_foy's account was a tragedy. Not sure how your script can adjust for this sort of thing.
• As pointed out by PM trailblazer chromatic, XP wasn't part of this site from the start ... which has probably unfairly denied Sainthood to the deserving pioneer Brazilian monk BBQ, our second international Perl Monk, joining on Dec 24 1999 at 00:09 UTC (just eleven hours before chromatic joined).
