Interesting idea. If the server knew who saw what, perhaps! But we're not there
yet I don't think, especially if we take news into account (and mail
subscriptions... how is the server to know whether some one pored over it or
deleted it unread). Good idea though, keep brainstorming, I say.

Totally agree. I voted "nil" on yours that was a bare post of a broken URL and
no other information but I think to vote 0 for a post that is correctly placed,
jaunty in tone, brief but not too brief, and has a correctly functioning URL
seems wrong to me.
Personally, I enjoy Lindsay's auction posts and his auction listings, they're
fun. And he must be happy today as Michigan State made the final 4 in
basketball...

can you clarify what you mean by this? I think the >> to tell you you voted on
something is useful.
