Welcome, I'm new at this also. It seem to be alot of fun and there must the hundreds of ways to compare stats. As with all numbers if you look hard enough you can find them saying what you want. lol I have had my dual crunching on the Reisel Sieve site for the last 15 hours and it seems to be moving right along. I just finished putting 2 more 3500+'s on it a few minutes ago. There are a small number of high scoring people so a newcomer has a chance to advance in the ratings fairly quickly.
