2. there's a -5 for jumbo (popular ed. doesn't qualify)
So in total, there..."
Sorry, Tien, this took me a minute, but I think I have found the reason for our difference:
Post 1008 -10 (Asimov is not non-western)
Post 1048 +10 (Multiple and Reilly)
Post 1049 -5 (Not Jumbo-Godfather)
This was for a net of -5 giving us a starting point of 1550 for your new posts.
