I don't pay much attention to it anymore but come on. I noticed a certain poster had a rating of minus ten. Holy crap! Granted he (she?) has strong opinions but another poster has carpet bombed him (her) with many recent negatives. So mostly because I agree with the first poster I gave him (her) some pluses. This is grammar schoolyard B.S. I assume that if lines are crossed in a post the Minders will handle it. My advice FWIW is to drop the system. It's childish. What do you all think?

As an old Bootleg guy (present at the creation, BTW), I think of a low rating on this board as a high honor. Some of the posters here, I swear, are ringers from GoStanford.com.  Or trolls from Arrillaga--hey, they have nothing else to do.
