I mean we should either pick 2-100 or 10-65, not that I want no upper and lower limits at all.
That's what I was proposing.
I meant "take out the 2-100, put in the other buffista-suggestion numbers".
Some form of average
I recall Jon B posting that he'd be shocked if we did anything other than the mean.
What Ple proposed it using the "median" to check ourselves on the "mean". That is, if they are very different, I think there is a high or low number really skewing.
Okay, just making sure I was following. I'll return to my lurking now.
using the "median" to check ourselves on the "mean"
Seems sensible. And where's that dissertation on the Binary Walk or Octal Amble or Hex Hike or whatever, Gar? Enquiring minds want to know.
UTTERLY off-topic, and probably something that nobody wants to hear, but

Mieske's suspension ended on March 1st. Has anyone re-activated him?

I think the stompies are aware of this.
Mieskie violated the terms of his suspension when he posted one last time as "Michael" (not to mention the /mieskie and mieskie/ and mmieskie registrations, although he did deny, didn't he, that those were him). Quite essentially saying, "the rules do not apply to me". Which, I feel, ought to automatically disqualify him as Buffista. Part of being a Buffista is being a creature to whom the Buffista Rules apply.
I think we are *obligated* to keep his status as banned. I feel very strongly about this.
Stompies have a comment on this. But what have to figure out what it is first. Hold on.
:)
We do?
Why do we always have comments when I'm Away From Home?
