I win at internet points!

Someone posted a list of top HN submitters by h-index. I'm in there at #41, with an h-index of 75 (I've submitted 75 stories which have scores of 75 or higher).

Amused at scoring so highly, I popped over to the overall leaderboard and discovered that I currently squeak onto it, at #100. Which I will presumably be knocked off from at some point, as I stopped caring at all about HN Karma when I hit 20,000, and haven't spent much time submitting stories on recently.

(Not that I cared deeply about my HN score. But when I like round numbers, so when I hit 17,000 I was then determined to make it to 20,000...)
