How is it people come along and brand an article as poor contrary to other opinions without even leaving comment as to why the article is so dreadful and thus giving the author oportunity to reslove or understand the issue. For example, today i posted my second article, it took me quite a while to put together, and although not that technical (flagged as beginner) i thought it a reasonable topic that had not been covered on this site in the language i addressed it. Within 10 minutes it had had a couple of 5 ratings, for which i was chuffed, now i have a look and it has obviously been given a 1 as a third rating. I am not saying it does not necessarily deserve this rating because of some error, but i do feel an explanation should be given for the rating. Any thoughts? Tom

Or, if you can't, at least ignore them until you get 10 or 20 votes. Personally, I thought it was a good article, and no, I haven't voted on it. VB's not my thing. But I will make a comment on it.
