@Andy: I don't think we actually disagree that much. But, for the sake of peace, I'm happy to draw a line under.

Despite having done the math, the task of manually assessing the individuals who make a contribution to the forum would seem to be a massive and time consuming undertaking. I am just suggesting that a relatively easy way to move everyone from where they were to where they probably should be could be automated and then any anomalies addressed. And, ongoing, new and existing promotions and demotions could be undertaken by committee.
