What stands against the argument that your stats are no proof of quality is the fact that (not only just in this example) it shows the posters I would rate amongst the best in quality. :-) Not to forget that it gives a lot of other interesting information. Nevertheless how or if a rating shold be done I would say that for new list members it is helpfull to see who belong to the good writers and who participate aat a list for a certain time. And as we all may remember having another star for good work was motivating already in kindergarten, which is a kind of rating I would say. Rating is a functionality of a lot of forum's and if it is done well it is helpfull and motivating for novice members. At least much better than endless tofu and behaviour threads we have seen in the past. May be it is a way that list members may rate the writers on their wiki member page (if there is one). This then may be extracted and posted to the list from time to time. regards, thomas --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
