@ Nabble

Please, for Nabble 2, might you re-introduce the ratings feature?

Observing Nabble 1: <http://www.nabble.com/Mac-OS-Forge-f22105.html> is exemplary of a parent where most if not all children are list archives.

Of the 14,558 threads, I can't guess the percentages of:

* posts from people who are not registered with Nabble
* ratings by people who are not registered with Nabble.

I'm struck by the number of posts that gained four stars:
<http://www.nabble.com/Mac-OS-Forge-f22105r4.html>

Not all four stars are applied by humans.

Where ranking is not human, what's the logic?

At a glance:

1. some threads that begin with four stars are orphans, e.g. <http://www.nabble.com/-td21658646r0.html>

2. a single-message thread, not an orphan, a question that is unanswered <http://www.nabble.com/-td21620296r4.html> gained four stars.

For the second example, <http://www.nabble.com/rating/RatedPosts.jtp?user=750786> confirms that the author's message is not amongst the "Messages Rated by Others".

TIA for advice
