Maybe I am missing a huge point. If so, apologies in advance. There seems to be an awful lot of talk on different ways to rate people and so forth. To me, it seems a little on the exesive side. If you hang around, and read enough, you will quickly learn who knows what they are talking about and who does not.

For example, you might notice that I have not contributed an answer to a Perl question. This is because I am new, and would not presume to hand out an answer at this point. Others who breath Perl might have different areas of strengths than another. To me, it just seems like too much to put a blanket score on people to the depth and extent that is being talked about.

Again, I might be wrong, but you are welcome to my couple pennies bent as they may be.
