>>Imusta+(OP)
There's something about the numbers I can't figure out. Look at the top three HN contributors by karma[1]:
username words karma
1. tptacek 4,310,896 416351
2. jacquesm 3,841,209 237961
3. ingve 2,273 215283
How did ingve get to #3 with just 2
thousand words, whereas tptacek and jacquesm authored 3-4
million words? Looking at his 14-year history, it's true that he hasn't written that much. I suppose one possibility is that his writing is 1000x better at earning karma. But I'm going to hazard a guess that it's the quality of his 3-4 submissions per day that brings up his karma when one of his submissions is a hit (I think that submissions do count toward karma).
