Thus, something rated by no one is pure gray, and something rated by only one or two people is (...) (25 years ago, 31-Mar-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

Even the 6x6x6 safe palette shows six gradations of red from black to red, and very few people here (as a (...) (25 years ago, 31-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). Neat accident, huh? (...) (25 years ago, 31-Mar-00, to lugnet.admin.general)
