Upon reading the title I thought that this was a level 11, as in one better than Saint.

Ovid has certainly made controversial but well-regarded posts (Paradigm Shift - Don't use strict), and TheDamian's mind-blowing talk at SPUG last night on computations "in no time" clearly puts him in that category!
