Okay. Ellmyruh gets 40% credit for writing the root post, Jezzika gets 40% credit for writing the post that directly inspired the root post, Dave gets 15% credit because he wrote the post from before that helped inspire the root post, and I get 5% credit for making the offhand comment that inspired it this particular thread. (I was thinking of giving myself 10% before but then I decided I didn't have enough seniority.)

That's ignoring the 100% extra credit that goes to Sam for giving us a forum to have the thread in, plus a bonus 5% for bringing the whole who-started-the-thread thing into question in the first place. :) (I get 2% for making mention of it, though.)

That Sam... always giving 105%...
