I like to recommend reading of VSoups documentation for this case.
Look for score in vsoup.txt (or vsoup.inf). If you are using the
Win95/NT version, then check section 12.5 of the online documentation,
which one can find under http://home.pages.de/~rgriech/vsoup.htm

Hmm, the description is quite bad, because in case of normal article
posting the situation will be the same. Without knowledge of RFC977
one is more or less helpless. If anybody has a better idea to make
the difference between POST and IHAVE clearer (i.e. less technical),
I'll be grateful!
