Ya know, that sounds cool and stuff. But, i sadly have to admit, have no idea what any of it means.

Ordering Writeups by rep works even if you cannot see the rep? That is, is it accurate?

And if you cast votes at certain thresholds (like quantiles)

Please explain that a bit more. I keep thinking i know what you mean, but i don't.

I wouldn't expect tye to be too happy if you do this automatically and at large scale

The purpose of the above query is just on SioB, the one static page, and the data that is there. It might be fun for more pages to include queries but that would not be large scale. Eventually, though, i might use the xml for all the polls and poll ideas to have some fun querying with that.

after ordering your 863 posts best first and voting in a logarithmic scale

And my voting? What exactly are you doing? Admittedly, the big words make it sound interesting. :P

you are deciphered my friend

I will neither confirm nor deny the veracity of that statement, though i think you meant to add a comma to it. :)
