Or is the person rating it a 0 trying to influence the overall rating rather than give their true opinion? Maybe it doesn't (...) (25 years ago, 30-Mar-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

It's actually a smooth scale from 00 to FF -- but since the ratings often come out to 0, 20, 40, 60, 80 and 100, these map fortuitously to 00, 33, 66, 99, CC, and FF (the 6x6x6 safe palette).
