    Looking at his average, it will take an other half year - I'm really hope your download will end much before!!! :laugh:

        This surprised me, so I had a look at the rep graph and did some sophisticated analysis (well, used a piece of paper as a straight edge, and dropped a line down to the time axis, then played with my calculator.) Mid to late May. :wtf: That's crazy - the graph has to be well off scale. It's late Feb now, so that's +60K rep points in 2 1/2 or 3 months! Surely some mistake here - I think the hamsters messed up... [edit]Speeeling erorrs and missing punctuation - OriginalGriff[/edit]

          That could take time, yes. The internet doesn't like pictures of me, so it hangs onto them possessively... :laugh:

            My calculation was - you point left to 1 million (about 60.000) divided by your monthly average in QA (about 8000). That gave me over 7 months and I dropped some as you also do other things in CP... I may not estimated well you other contributions... Anyway - you may prepare for a party...(don't forget to invite the hamsters!) :-D

                  Hmm, I would like to apply for a Job at Griff&Griff LTD. For the week of the party + a day or two for recuperating. I would take my pay in liquor & solid gold. What address shall I send the CV to?
