you know what would make this far more useful AND entertaining?
if it showed who rated what, and how. by email name.
on the overall thread rating, you should be able to click on the
rating icon and have it display everyone's individual ratings
AND to which posts in those threads that they assigned ratings.
also, you should be able to check entire user ratings from individuals.
so, if you value someone else's opinion, (what are the odds?),
you could click on their "rater" button to check the list of
posts which they have bothered to rate. this would cut down
on wasted bandwidth quite a bit. as well as wasted time.
you could see how they rated their own posts as well.
it would be interesting to see how it all played out.
IOW: it would be just another massive timesuck.

You can't give yourself a score of zero. It has to be 1-5 stars.
And no half stars.

How sad that your life seems to revolve around this rating of your

Do you have any idea how frantic you appear?

Irony, Ray. IRONY! Whooosh!
The thing about Google Groups ratings is that NOBODY can be bothered.
Because the entire concept SUCKS. The ratings will amount to nothing
more than a new form of flaming... If they ever catch on at all. That
was my only point. My threadstarter was a PARODY of the desperation
that the chump at Google who implemented this "great idea" must be
feeling now.
Reader ratings work at Slashdot because Slashdot is moderated. The
moderators adjust the score as they see fit.
Bloated Wall Street darling Google should consider implementing the
following rating system for usenet.
Author of message receives the following reward or punishment...
Five stars = Gets to intern for Karl Rowe.
Four stars = Allowed to commit one felony while cops look the other
way.
Three stars = Given condescending faint praise.
Two stars = Beaten by security police while handcuffed to heater
pipe.
One star = Internal organs harvested for transplantation. No
anesthetic.

You're obviously of the same mind as I am regarding this. I have
similar beliefs about the lack of validity of Wiki posts and
references. To prove it, I often go in and change some cite or other
from a Wiki site just to prove how nonsensical it is to quote from
there.
Thomas, I got your irony and was simply poking back at you.
Remember, it was you who used my name in your first post on the
thread. If you weren't trolling for my reply, why do it? Even you're
not stupid enough to believe I'd run over and plug my own posts.

This from someone who feels it is necessary to respond to almost every
post on the group with some inane comment.
Been fired? Ray will tell you how you should get a job.
Have a question on the law? Ray will provide you with a answer that has
no grounding in fact.
Made a comment about the weather? Ray will tell you how climatologic
are all kooks when they talk about environmental damage.
And Thomas is desperate for attention? Jeez.
