Its a start

In Response To: Its a start (Rich Munitz)

My recommendation would be to start all new Open players with a rating of 1800. If separate Intermediate/Advanced ratings are kept, perhaps they should start with an initial rating of 1650. While not perfect, it might help to provide a bit of consistency between the two data sets. (emphasis mine. CRB)

If they are to be kept separately then why does it matter?

I see subjectivity trying to work its way into a system that is designed to be objective. My standard reaction is analogous to a vampire seeing a cross.
