You have a little over 11,000 points. You show up on page 20 of the Who's Who page when sorted by reputation points, and are in about the 480'th place. That's the ranking system.
At this point, you are a barely perceptible blip on the reputation radar. Just participate in the site, and let the points accumulate.

Ouch, a tad too blunt there!

That's John's touchy-feely side coming through there. The caring, nurturing John.

At least he's ON the radar. There are fewer than 600 users above 10k points right now.

You see "blunt" - I see "mere truth".

I don't know if this is what John meant (probably not) but in some spots here in the States the words "I just" is how it is said (Southern style...I think). Grammatically correct it is not but spoken and written none the less.

less so than a couple of days ago. I had a strong feeling downloads were logged once in the rep history, but sometimes/always? added twice to the Author category. This has been rectified now.

Yes you are not, but in time you will be. Just 520 points away.

It means you are one of those exceptional people who get the opportunity to become a legend twice, something CG, JSOP, Marc, Sacha , and all the other big shots can't.

No, you will be soon quickly. BTW your RaptorDB article is good one & I have voted (But I'm just a bronze author so couldn't give you much ).

Points won't make a legend eventhough the reputation system is still trying desparately to make us believe this otherwise.
Legends aren't made by someone attaching a tag to it, but rather out of achievements and their acknowledgement.
Acknowledgment of your achievements should not (alone) rely on people on CP voting for your articles or solutions or whatever.
My two cents-
Cheers!

These two are out of sync. Profile page says I have ~34k points, but graph shows ~30k. This disparity happened few days/week ago when I suddenly got 2-3k author points without and explanation. Not that I mind those extra points (real or fake), but while we're on the subject you could be a little more generous (another 5k would be enough)
