> After being around for 3 or 4 days I have started to wonder. What are typical attributes of a Rinky ? Obviously being Samual Stoddard makes you the top no. 1 Rinky, but that does not apply to most in here. Seems to me that you all share a certain level of "Educated Crazyness", but I'd certainly like to hear your own views on this :-)

I've been thinking a little about the different grades of "rinkiness" recently, proof positive that I'm becoming properly "rinkified". (I love these words, they sound so cool.) It seems that, as you say, Sam is No. 1 Rinky, then after that you get those who post really frequently (Howard, Brunnen-G) and then the great, wide band of those who post now and again, or in bursts (me, wintermute, etc.). After that you get the newbies who post quite a bit, then those who post once and go away again. I think I've encompassed everyone in those categories, but feel free to correct me if you think you've been overlooked or put in the wrong category.
