Well, it is high, relatively speaking. The fact of the matter is - and I suppose you already know that since you must have been around for a bit by now - TT in Europe and TT in the States is based on two different philosophies, for the lack of a better term. We know how easily our rating here in the US can fluctuate between a couple of tournaments.
Another significantpoint is the fact, that competetive TT here in the States is being played at tournaments, whereas in Germany for instance, your level is primarily being determined by the league you play in. So it's really two pair of shoes.
But I didn't mean to take the credits away from you - apparently, you progressed quite a bit over the past few years which is a great accomplishment, no question.

I understand the difference between the systems. My rating fluctuates by about 100 points but generally, my rating has consistently increased (with fluctuations). I dropped down from 2058 to 2010 after I stopped playing at all for 6 years but later last year, I went up to 2118, dropped down to 2077, then back up to 2112, then down to 2025 (after a failed experiment with different rubber) and now I'm up to 2129, consistently beating mid 2100 to 2200 players (but occasionally losing to low 2000 players). You can check my rating history. My last name is MADER.. I'm the only TT player with that last name in the US..
