I think it might be nice to try putting 20 people on the leaderboard. I myself have never been on the leaderboard as far as I know, although I have been on LW for a long time. (I actually have no idea what my name recognition status is in the community, relative to the average. Do people think, "Oh, a post by moridinamael, I know that guy," or have I wasted energy trying to establish an identity here?) A slightly extended leadboard would allow more people to gauge their relative position as a contributor in the community at a given time.

FWIW, I recognize your name, vaguely think of it as associated with sensible comments, but couldn't offhand say what your areas of special interest, political views, etc., are.

My daughter's cherished unicorn doll is named Lumifer, because it needed a name and I had been reading Less Wrong.

I feel honoured :-)
