I don't think this topic is worth all the worry. The fact that we all post "what we want to post" allows us to not care much what the general public reads. I never look at the ratings, as I am an independent thinker and will judge for myself, as to what I think is worthy of my attention. I am surprised so many folks get upset over things like ratings on a post.

I think this thread is an exercise....in what, I am not sure.

Don't worry about ratings, just keep on posting and get on with it!
