Top of the Stack

Every stack has a top. These are the members who keep KEH-TECH useful, ranked by what actually helps: in the Help forum, the person who asked a question can mark the reply that solved it as the best answer, and everyone can vote answers up or down. Best answers earn the most points, because a solved problem helps the next person who searches for it.
