That is one of the reasons. Another reason is that I combine the posts from a person who posts under different names (for example "John D. Giorgis" and "J.D. Giorgis") and/or from multiple e-mail addresses. Of course, things can go wrong bigtime when I accidentally contribute posts to the wrong person -- just look what happened to Jon Gabriel's ranking recently. One may notice that the rankings on my site also include 9,861 posts "from unsubscribed addresses". I am still working on building a complete archive and have not yet determined who the people in that group are. Once I figure that out, it will have some effect on the rankings, but I do not think it will dramatically change the top 10.
