Rating lugnet.lego.direct posts on how good an idea they are in general (eg
bring back pirates) does not give the most benefit to the LUGNET readership.

Why not? Surely a lot of people saying Pirates are great is a very good
indicator that a Pirate parts pack might be a good idea, for example.

Disagree.  How could LEGO guess from that noise (without already knowing) that
what people want are boat hulls and masts more than anything, and not dinky
little parts packs with a variety of hats and coins?  (Both are always in
demand, to be sure, but the larger elements are always way, way, higher in
demand relatively speaking.)

I'm going to stop giving advice on how to rate articles in the .lego.direct
newsgroup.  Brad can describe what he wants to hear as feedback, if he cares.
Maybe people will believe him.  Or maybe he'd like to encourage noise for
pacific reasons...who knows.
