First of all you have to finish a ride to "top 10." Many a folks have 
top 10'ed a 100 because not many that started it finished it. Think 
about what that means. Then there is the fact that not many people even 
get to a 100. While I think that there are some things that should be 
considered consolidating all the distances - like lifetime miles - the 
comment Frank is responding to is pretty much over the top.

My suggest is before anyone ever makes a comment like that is they go 
out and start a 100. After that we will talk.
