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.)

Of course, had you not had a tendency to write long posts, then there would have been nothing for Jezzika to comment on. Also, htaeD started the death penalty thread, giving you occasion to post long posts.
