No. It is an artifical adjusted score. The penalty may come on top of 
that.....

60% vs. a pair who habitually fail to score 30% on the session is a 
gift? 40% vs. Meckwell is a penalty? If you say so...... still, I have 
to disagree.

No. You do. If there is a comparable case which is in worse shape 
scorewise (only looking at the artificial scores...), that can be evened 
out by PPs. Let them complain. And yes, I get paid. If they don`t 
return, I can live with that. What I can`t live with is having others 
stay off because they are sick and tired by wrongdoers being pampered 
and coddled, and that is the bigger number in the long run. Somebody 
makes a fuss or throws a tantrum? The door is over there, I trust you 
can find the way. Don`t go to the trouble of coming back.

Robert, you have some knack of insulting people, practically 
effortlessly. I think _you_ have to reward them so they come back. Sven 
doesn`t, and neither do I. What I have to do, and will do right after 
hitting the "send" button is to put you on my ignore list. I love good 
email-clients. I am sick and tired of having you insult anyone who 
diagrees with you. But I have good news for you. I am not going to 
disagree with you in the future. I will not learn what your opinion is.  
I don`t care. Reality.

No regards whatsoever
