Sounds funky! What would be nice is a Top (X) messages of the
hour/day/week/month/etc page. Although, would that bias then be an unfair one?
Ie - as traffic gets busier, more and more people might just decide to view the
the days most popular messages board instead of hunting the newsgroups
themselves and finding overlooked gems.
Maybe if votes that were referenced from the Top X page, were weighted
differently?
