[...about the rating system...]
As I only read via a newsreader (off-line), I don't see the ratings and, even
if I had been a member, don't have any opportunity to rate, I find it rather
unnecessary. The storms that it has raised are, IMO, equally disturbing as
auction posts in the wrong groups, if not worse.
(It's about time to kill-file posts containing 'rating')

Suits me fine! But as I don't see the ratings (only the wawes they create), it
doesn't matter much either way.

It sounded like a good idea, although not very important. The effects have
been disturbing.

It's about time!

Rating of sets might be meaningful, although you have to realize that people
have different opinions, and *none* of them are wrong.
Rating of web pages would be even more crushing for the down-rated individual
than a spurious '0' on a posting. We all know *our* page is good (if not the
best)!
> Thanks for your time,
Thanks for *your* time Todd, lugnet *IS* fantastic, but IMO you should use
your time for something else than rating systems.
