Not true. I do a lot of my reading from nntp. I don't see the ratings
(nor can I make them). I pretty much ignore the rating system (I haven't
seen any proposals of how it would be used which would really be
effective, one problem is not enough people rate the articles, another
problem is there is a vast history of posts which is not rated, another
is that I don't see many ways yet to use the ratings to find posts).

Agreed.
A thought on the non-constructive "I liked your MOC" posts. If a couple
people have already posted such, don't me-too it (what would be neat is
to have a "me too" feature which would append names to the end of a post
[sort of like the newspaper when it prints an editorial and indicates
that others besides the author have signed it]).
A thought on a way to use the rating system from nntp: Have the server
trap responses which have no body except a "rating: 5" (or "me too" if
that feature is added). Server should look at the subject and body to
find the rating.

| (...) I would argue yes. I think that's been made self evident; see Eric Kingsley's post. "good job", "me too", etc., are all great to hear when you're the one getting the praise, but: A. it doesn't help you, save your ego perhaps. B. to many (...)
