I used to look at recent posts to enjoy the gamut of LugNet. When in-fighting
occured, the "Noise-to-MOC" ratio was 10:1 as everybody angrily came out of the
woodwork.

Yes, hopefully I can post ideas that won't be taken that way. At least LugNet
posters are more reserved about their comments. CSF has an elitist reputation
with comments like "Why did you waste your and our time with this?"

I too wish for a more objective rating. If only BrickShelf or MocPages had a
search for folders most visited by Month and Year. As it is, we only have
"Greatest Hits" which only becomes self aggrandizement of the past greatest
MOCs.

No, my MOCs are not particularly worthy of giving lugnet. I learned that long
ago. Although my opinions are not as credible as a seasoned veteran like you,
why should that instantly discredit those? I try to post to add to a discussion
which thanks to you has happened.
That is a reason that Lugnet has less MOC responses. Lugnet gets mostly MOC
announcements from Great Builders. Like others, I refrain from cluttering up
forums with one line "Awesome MOC!!!" posts. That is MocPages' job.
Thanks for the discussion,
Andy
