I tend to agree.  I think all of us would like to know that our
pages made the top 10 but there are only about 115 or so on the list
as I recall.  We might wind up with the same 10 or 15 every week.
Besides, some of the more competitive might get carried away and flunk
out of grad school if it really gets rolling :)
