How do you compute the points for the items?

How do you compute the points for the items?
I kept it simple: Reverse order = Number of points
i.e. #3 on front page = 28 pts etc.
Points are accrued every time a snapshot of the front page is taken.
There is a flaw with this system in that outside of peak hours, some less important item might hang around the front page a little longer and earn a too many points but I feel that it still works well enough to catch up with HN Content.

Hah. Neat. Thanks for the reply. I've book-marked your page. Not sure I'll use it, but it's worth keeping.

The actual point values seem wildly meaningless, perhaps you shouldn't even display them.
For a minute there, I thought you were summing the article points and the total points of all comments, which would be an interesting ranking as well.
