The API provides methods to sort and filter individual questions by score.
In order to calculate the question score (votes sum) totals per User, some grouping and set operations are required.
e.g.
total_score display_name [user_id] ------------------------------------------ 1000 John Doe [12] 900 Joe Snow [431] . . . etc etc
