BTW, when I say "to mark duplicate info down" I mean down as far as possible,
not down w.r.t. other opinions or w.r.t. the composite rating.  I still would
have rated it a 0 even if there hadn't already been a 100 on it prior to my
rating it.  I try _real_ hard to ignore other ratings when coming up with my
own.

When we have the tables, and the auto-sorting of rated messages.. will we need
to see the actual ratings for individual posts?

It could solve the problem of being influenced by others, and the problem of
depressing people by giving them a less than 50 score. I agree that the
*entire* scale should be used, but if I rated down every conversational, or
otherwise below-average post.. then a lot more feelings would be hurt! Even
seeing a 45 next to your post can be taken too personally sometimes - and I'm
not sure that that is something that is just going to go away either :/

what if instead of seeing a number as the rating (which we can all read
and react to) we'll see it as a color - anywhere from #00FF00 for 100 to
#FF0000 for 0 - it won't be obvious what the exact rating was (and it
doesn't really matter what it is), but we'll be able to tell what the
general idea is...

Just a thought

(...) Just an FYI... Human interface guidelines suggest that color should never be the sole carrier of information, for several reasons. The obvious reason is so that people with difficulty distinguishing colors or shades of gradation can use your (...) (25 years ago, 31-Mar-00, to lugnet.admin.general)
