Why? ...are the Einstein servers and the BOINCstats servers so different?

(moderation:
What would be the reason for having the Einstein server(s) for the statistics be so different than the BOINCstats server(s)?
I realize that the delay between the actual reading and the displaying there can be somewhere between 1 day and several days difference. Case in point: On the Einstein 'Statistics' webpage I am listed as #20 in the users section. Yet, in BOINCstats I am listed as #34 in the same listing for total Einstein users. Are BOINCstats counting users for Einstein and Einstein is not counting them?
Even if taken into account the people who no longer are using Einstein, whether they've died, quit using Einstein, or simply backed off because of the summer heat, BOINCstats would STILL be different than Einstein statistics by 5 users.
Mike? Gary? Anyone? Care to comment?

Are you taking care to sort

Are you taking care to sort both lists by the same scoring means?
When I sort by RAC, I see you at #20 on the Einstein site list, and #18 on the BoincStats list
When I sort by total credit I see you at #40 on the Einstein site list, and #34 on the BoincStats list.
While those still disagree, it is not so much as your report.
The simple answer is that

The simple answer is that many people do not export their stats. So they do not show up on 3rd party stats sites at all. Science United and Gaurav Khana are two notable examples of this. People who do not export stats will be on the official Einstein rankings, but not on the 3rd party sites
easy solution is to just look at the official leaderboards if you want to know the true ranks.
