Well, that's an error and one you should take up with the people who run the rantings pages at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Graham only pulls the rantings from their site and it's not local. *>Finally, here we are at a page with reviews. Frankly, I've never seen one of *>these before, and I can't say that this one really does me a huge amount of *>good. I'm much better served by reading the documentation (which should *>speak for the quality of the module on it's own.) However, the 1-5 star *>rating DOES provide a nice at-a-glance view of others' opinions. *> *>So, we have ratings, and we have reviews. What's wrong? That's a big question and I have a long answer for that but mostly I've only seen stuff like Randal extorting authors with 1-star ratings, authors sniping at each other via rantings and in module docs and, when they aren't petty and vile they're 5-stars with 'great module'. There's a smattering of useful reviews but, as on Amazon, YMMV. What's wrong isn't a software issue. e.
