If you are infatuated with meaningless metrics, I will develop the "Eric Scale" going from 1 to 1000. Those who send me $10 will get a 500 rating. $50 will get you an 800 rating.  An even $1,000 will get you the coveted 1000 rating.

Hehehe. I was just curious of course so I looked at your ratings. Good job! So there I was browsing through the different ratings: 11something, 1300ish, 1000 and some change, then BAM!! 3115 !! Whew, that must've taken some effort. I actually did laugh some. Ok, gonna go do something productive now.....

I think its pretty easy to tell if someone does that. Why would you though ? Just so you can brag you have a meaningless number that you really didn't even earn by it ? I think that tells alot about the type of person you are, if you do something that petty.

A saying you should remember well, those that can't be trusted in the small things, how can they ever be trusted in the great things.

I want a ranting of 4300 on your scale, so I offer you $1,000,000,000.  Do you accept?  Will you take a traveler's check?
