Hi there.  I made a similarish point on this list about a year ago, to
which you replied:

  http://groups.google.co.uk/[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Your reply included:

  Finally, the scoreboard does have a purpose.  Part of the original
  idea of CPANTS was to provide an automated checklist for a good
  distribution.  ... Then, if this were a web page, the author could
  just click on that to get an explaination of why this is a Good Thing
  and what they can do to fix it. ...
  
  How do you get authors to actually look at the CPANTS information and
  make corrections?  Well, we like competition.  Make it a game! 

So it was you -- or somebody impersonating you on this list -- who
managed to persuade me that actually Cpants being a game was a good
thing!
