i really like how you gave equal weight to historical, long term and short term factors. since i started coming here in 2002 there's been a debate about how long rankings should take into account. "2 years" seems to be the most common answer, for a ranking of one time, which is not necessarily the same combination of variables for overall rankings. not unlike (let me get geeky here) quantum mechanics and relativity.
i, personally, think historical relevance should have some account in todays rankings, but many others disagree. which leads me to ask....
have you also done other updates for "today's" (or, any one point in time) rankings that you can share? for example, here is A Silva ranked today, and how heavily does historical relevance factor into it, considering he's 0-2 in the last 2 years?
