Disagree.

I guess we are all resigned to submit individual ratings on a
per-message basis (not a complaint, however).  I was thinking that
the submit ratings button on a thread display page could be used to
submit ratings for multiple messages within that thread.  I guess
I was thinking incorrectly.

This is not so.

If you click on the submit button, whether it's for one post or for a whole
tree worth, whatever ratings you have set will be reapplied (unless it's a very
large tree, as I said before), because you do a POST.

If you click on the URL/link that is the equivalent of a next or prev icon
(that is, the underlined numbers one higher and lower than the current post's
number) in the upper right corner, or any number of other URLs that are
clickable on the page, you won't be doing a POST, you'll be doing a GET and the
input name value pairs are discarded instead of transmitted.
