Except for the fact that the message-group filter isn't applied there, it's
actually working perfectly well, IMHO. The ratings are, in the final analysis,
recommendations-to-read. If the original message and its replies are getting
high ratings, then it's a clear indication that the community feels it is an
important issue to discuss. Higher ratings raise the visibility of things --
that's their purpose. A secondary purpose (for way down the road) is having
the system collate your input with the input of others to make predictions to
your about what you might most want to read -- but that's secondary.
