I posted 2 rationality quotes that year, but the one from may attracted a surprising number of upvotes. It seems a little unfair that Anna Salamon's checklist of rationality habits, one of the top five best html documents I've found ever, has only a couple points more. Other users had already opined that karma is a bit broken as a measure, but that was when I started to alieve it. It's amused me to see other users want to submit posts and ask for free karma, because LW is already handing out free karma pretty much

I am a little chagrined that though I am #2 by total karma, I have only 2 in the bests list. Seems I need to be a little more selective in the future.

You are #2 by karma collected from 2009 to 2013, not just in 2013. You earned an average of 8.20 karma points from 5 quotes in 2013, and an average of 11.05 karma points from 81 quotes in total, which is near to a P-value of 0.5 in my statistical test.

Oh, these are all cumulative lifetime total karma scores...? I thought these numbers were just for 2013.

Those numbers are also there, in this child comment. I edited the comment to make it clear.
