old, if someone goes back and rates it.  Your client shouldn't have to endure

number without timestamp.

Oh! I am thinking of "rating" as the number displayed with a message on the
web site. Are you saying that you'd spit out the entire rating history of
the message, for the client to do something with? Hmmm.....

I guess the client doesn't really care about the history of the message
rating, but that would be the best way to adjust the clients view of
messages rating...  though I assume the client will be able to query the
ratings of a message independently...  so if you already know of a
message's rating you could ask for an update, if you don't, you can ask
for the complete picture.

Another thought though, instead of giving the "rating log" from a
timestamp, give us the _full_ rating of messages that changed since a
timestamp.  It'll make it simpler to deal with things like "UnRate" and
will also cut down on the amt of data sent...

Thoughts?

(...) Yeah -- what Dan said. I don't mean to send the entire _history_ with all the timestamps, but rather to send the raw data up to that point -- all the raw values -- (which is almost like the whole history) -- so that the client can calculate a (...)
