No this wasnt a side-effect from the !computer part of Hossa's formula. When I
returned from holidays I saw that Hossas rating dropped below 2200 (last week).
I was very surprised to see a new hiscore of >2500 when I logged in this
saturday because I haven't changed a single bit in Hossas code for weeks. At
this time Hossa didn't have the !computer in it's formula.

I added !computer to it's formula to see if it would get even higher and thanx
to Vincent Hossa even reached a rating of 2567!

Ill remove the !computer filter today :)
