I fail to understand why people even bother...

Well, theres a possibility. My great grandmother came over from England near the turn of the century. She had lived in Sittingbourne, Kent which to my knowledge is near Canterburry in England. Theres actually been discussion about it within the family. I always thought that Aldrich was a German name, which was my great-grandfathers name of course. I'd have to get into the geneology some more to figure it out. MIght be an interesting little side project

Aldrich is the English language spelling of Aldridge with is an Irish surname.. Maybe they are just the same spellings. hmmm... Regards, Brian Dela :-)

... to rate articles poorly and fail to provide any explanation of why they rated them in that manner. It's fustrating to spend hours learning a method to do something, post code to help beginners such as myself out, and then be rated poorly and not have any explanation given. Take my article on Creating a Simple Property Sheet Based Wizard as an example. I provided a simple method do this based on my recent study into how to do it. True, it's not a -complete- guide to how to set up a fully functional wizard, but instead targetted at helping beginners actually get the damned thing to show up. There are plenty of articles on CodeProject and other sites that demonstrate the internals better than I could. I feel that by posting that article I'm offering up something to help beginners along based on my own personal experince. To check back on an article here and find lousy rating with no explanation is FUSTRATING. Granted I only rated my own article with a 3 ( since it's not a soup to nuts article ) I think that peopel should atleast justify their ratings and provide constructive critisism. I invite you to check the article out and offer up your constructive opinions.

I try to take the rating on my articles with a grain of salt; some like them, some don't. -Nick Parker

:suss: That's got my interest heightened now. I think my aunt actually had at one time / or still has a partial geneological record of our family. She would probably know better than I do. What's funny is that I've been told by a fellow Irish friend of mine that I do have somewhat of an Irish temper. :-D

I think what Chris shoudl really do is code something into the rating scripts that will not allow a rating to be posted without a explanation of why that rating was assigned. The reason why I say that is because to me, ratings and feedback are the primary validation of what I've provided to the community, and the feedback generated helps me improved. I know it sounds like I'm beating a dead horse here, but thats the way I see it.

I think it would do alot of good. It'd make peopel atleast think before they blindly posted a rating.

It's kind of like a less bitter version of Guiness. It's really good. My local bartender just started ordering it because someone else requested it.
