Thanks for the pointer, a very good essay indeed. :)
I haven't checked in any meaningful way, but that thread doesn't seem to have any replies from Ralph... Do you recall any details as to what would cause oscillations? Would be interesting to explore this.
I expect that having a way to prove collusion by checking who praises whom, etc. would likely avoid such problems. As would I suppose personal observation of current behavior.
Say for instance Mr. Measels manages to accumulate quite a large sum of positive repcap, if he spews a bunch of the lame ass CJ knockoff messages, I suspect most people would adjust their cached repcap's of him pretty quickly - At least I would. (CJ did/does write kooky messages, but at least they're funny...)
