But since Mike "let the cat out of the bag" about this rating thing - by starting this post - I think it's only right that he/you should now start a thread which A) explains it better, and B) does in fact ask for people's opinions about it (whether you like them or not.) Otherwise, it sounds like you're saying: "We are going to make this change to the forum, but we don't care what you think about it because we're going to do it regardless."

Now I know that you do in fact care about people's opinions about WPW, so all I am saying is to open this up to everyone's opinions. Even if you have decided already that you are going to implement this, you still may get valuable suggestions that help you figure out the details of how exactly you implement it. Isn't that what these forums are all about?
