What would be considered a respectable rating on this site? Something equivalent to 1600-1700 at US Chess Federation?

According to one member's forum post you'd need to subtract 800 from your net-chess rating to get an approximate Elo rating. My ACF rating is 1480 (Glicko), so maybe you'd need to subtract 900, but I like to think Ausralian ratings in the lower range are depressed by about 100 or so.
So 1600-1700 USCF = 2400-2500 net-chess. A reasonable approximation I reckon.
