Crikey! 30000 work units and your still only 2229th place ???

What hope is there for the rest of us :( ?

<LOL>  Reverse your thinking Peter, Andy is in 2229th out of 4,639,977
users, that's well inside the top 0.05 percentile..!   You need around
50,000 results to get into the top 1,000 overall - #1 overall has 2.9
million results under his belt..!   Our Carolyn's Clinic team #1, Bloham,
has near 58,000 results and he's around 800th place...


Alternatively, one can think of it as the "slope" of
the mountain one is trying to traverse.  It gets
steeper and steeper as one progresses.  It is easy to
pass people (many of whom have quit) when ascending
through the 100 - 250 - 1000 even 5000 level, but when
you get to the 20,000+ level, you are facing dedicated
individuals, groups and corporations that make further
progress difficult.  Once you are at 25,000 and above,
adding another 1000 WUs may only advance you 0.01%.
It's just the nature of the beast.
