...with karma in the 95th percentile. :P

(How'd you calculate that, by the way? Just eyeballing, or is there a page?)

(Just eyeball... on further reflection it may be more like 80th percentile. I know that on Hacker News, the karma distribution is exponential with a quick fall-off and I expect the distribution here is very similar.)

Funny you mention Hacker News, I'm about 100 karma points from being in the top 100 there (though under a different name).

I suspect there's a pretty big overlap between the LW and HN crowds. I wonder if there's a high correlation between karma on one site and karma on the other?
