The Star Rating System
Tue, 16 Apr 2002, 11:20 amHi all,
It was brought to my attention last night that I had apparently given Playlover's JCS two stars in the review I wrote about it.
Not true at all. I have no idea what the stars mean. What do they mean Grant?

No. It's easy enough for posts to be anonymous anyway. When you create a log-in name, you don't have to identify yourself. But I think making ratings attributable to their authors forces more responsible ratings.
