perceived feedback.  It seems from the input here today and yesterday that

I agree. And (guess what I'm going to say next *grin*) I think the "one
button" idea lends itself to this.

OK, there are now two choices (down from 5, down from 11 originally) in a
drop-down list...

   CHOICE           ACTION

   - - -            No action (default choice).

   ° Highlight      Recommend for highlighting with a ° symbol.

   °° Spotlight     Recommend for highlighting with a °° symbol and also
                    for inclusion in the LUGNET Spotlight page.

The first choice sends a "-" (meaning "undefined") to /news/rate.cgi as input.
The second choice sends a 75; the third choice sends a 100.
