I would hazard a guess, Eomer, that although the Wight has here rounded the data to two decimal places (a polite display), the results were probably stored in single-precision variables (seven places after the decimal) or double-precision (fourteen places after the decimal.)

You could just go on a rating spree. It's fun.

I make it a goal that when an under-rated, respectable old-timer casually revisits the Downs, I hunt for a good recent post (or even a good old one) and rate it. Obloquy was one of my more recent triumphs; a quiet chap, but I caught him.

Now if only lindil were around more often...
