I like that.  And I can read it and understand it
without caffeine or alcohol.

Seriously, 250 points is still, as far as I know, not
being aware of any recent inflationary trends, a lot. 
Getting that much (or, yes, more) at any time is a
considerable accomplishment at the moment.  Therefore,
incredible magnitude gains should indeed be reflected
in style.

Though should there then be a style cap?
