I understand what you mean, but I was not referring to SSDF vs. FIDE.

I know that there is some overlap beteen say FICS and ICC, and that people have
a lower FICS ELO on average, similarly happend in Italian ELO vs. FIDE ELO.

Has this any relation to the size of the population? (Please note the here the
assumpion that the ELO system are the same is not necessarely true).

Was just an arguing about the math behind elo system. (I did some simulations
with a smll code, but the result depend strongly on the rule that determines who
wins the game in the simulation, and it is far to easy to "write" the result you
want with this rule).
