Rachel-I think my post (message #79) was missed which was 110 pts. I see 45 pts which would have been for message 95. I *should* have a total of 155 pts if you count the post that was missed :)
I'm pretty sure that my point count should be 70 points.
My last couple of posts have been missed out. I'm on 209.

Not that I don't appreciate it, but I think I was given more points than I earned :-) I am listed with 97 points, but at the time of that posting I calculated 68 (for 3 books). I now have 82 points (as of posting #123).
I might be confusing myself, but just in case I want to make sure I didn't get someone else's points
