    We should have grayed out messages have :Lame at the end of them and the maroon ones have :great after them...would that do? :-D

        Surely that's where the noise filter kicks in?

        only if you know that the color and the "noise" settings are related. i recall one of the regulars (forget which) as late as last week thought people were just coloring their own post headers for the fun of it. -c

          No, you misunderstand - they give me something to click on while i'm reading. How else am i supposed to suffer through these long, well-thought-out posts? I'd end up clicking on the ads or something! :omg:

                Oh sorry, it seems I missunderstood the noise filter - I just assumed it didn't show messages below your noise threshold, but then of course we wouldn't see the grey coloured ones anyway then would we? :-O

                        Almost never. I think I've only done it once or twice. I think it should be

                        (1)Bad (2)Neutral (3)Good.

                        Otherwise, it's just kind of useless to have a 1-5 scale.:|

                          I'm pretty much the same way and will only rate when I feel extremely strong about something that was said. Otherwise, it seems pointless to give a 3 for an average comment.

                                  Chris, I have to tell you that I just went looking around your site again, and I found SAHotShot. Oh man! That program is awesome! Much better than WinKeys or any of the others that I've seen. :cool: Also, I'm going to recommend Snoop to my Dad. He's been looking for something that would let him do exactly what Snoop does. He'll be thrilled.

After the first rating I've made it was clear for me what they mean :confused:
