I disagree. One of the benefits of having an independent CUWiki is that we're free to be candid. I don't see why the article about GPA should not be "grade-obsessed." It seems to me that anyone who cares enough to look this page up could use some real-world knowledge about the rules of the GPA game-- I wish I'd known this stuff during my freshman year.
