Anyone any idea why this member appears to have no rating history?

Thank you!

This is very interesting. I don't think I've ever seen this player's rating history as his chart was never displayed for me. Until just now!

It seems you did something magical whether you realize it or not and our ghostly friend has now risen from the dead ?:-(

The player in question last logged in on 1st April. You aren't fooling anyone when you say this is a long time ago.

And yes, I believe your post was off topic :-P

...resuscitating people.


By the way, the word would be resurrecting ;-) :-P

I teach English. And I don't mean American English ;-)

Synonyms are words with similar meanings and not words with the same definitions. In a broader sense, either of our words might be applied here. However, mine is the more precise:

resuscitate to bring someone or something back to life or consciousness; to revive them or it.

resurrect to bring someone back to life from the dead.

As you can see, I'm deadly serious :-P

In fact, the words has relation with religious and philosophical aspects.


Well, yes. But given the nature of the meaning (bringing someone back from the dead), it's hardly surprising that the word has had little usage outside of religion and the supernatural.
