ERA = Earned Recommended Average.
Go to your Daily Kos Profile page and find these two statistics:
Recommended and Diaries Published;
and then divide the 1st number into the 2nd; round to 3 decimal points.
And voila you got your DK RecList E.R.A.
Note: Usually you have to a fair number of Diaries Published (posted), in order rack up any Recommended stats, which should appear in Most Frequent Tags area of your Profile page (once you 'make the List').
For Example here's mine, jamess:
Recommended (400)
Diaries published: 2079
400 / 2079 = 0.192 ERA. (or about 20% Rec-rate success.)
It's not the best average on the team,
but then again it's not the worst either.
;-)
PS. I posted this rather silly post, because I was really stoked about reaching that 400 stat, earlier today (Friday).
It's been a milestone goal of mine for quite while now, and a very long time in coming. Running a triathlon and marathon on alternate weekends, for a month, probably would have been easier, Lol.
Please excuse this waste of Recent List space with this navel-gazing exercize. But I figured I'd "earned" it, after putting in so much batting practice over the years.
Post your own ERA stats if you care to.
PS. the Team is always looking for more posters, those with a good eye for timely news and a flare for precision explaining. It's easy to join too, you just got to find the link that says:
Diaries: New ... right under your DK WELCOME BACK User Name.
Cheers and thanks for supporting your local Team of ever-dedicated posters.
