My Killboard Usage

Now that I'm participating in PvP a whole lot more, I am drawn to a tool that was always neglected before.  That tool is the Eve killmail, which can be accessed in your combat log, or your corporations war tab under kill reports.  While these are ways to access your killmails in game, killmails are also processed via api on several sites.  I've found this bit of information to be highly educational, but also misleading.  The way the killmail system works is that if you take some sort of aggressive action towards a ship, even though you may have done nothing damage wise, you will still end up participating on the killmail.  The reason this is very misleading is that the websites that process killmails keep track of your win/loss ratio in regard to ships and ISK.  So it is very easy to skew your killboard to be favorable.  Does this mean it's without its merits?  Nope, it just means that you have to pay close attention when analyzing the killboard for information that you are looking for.
