The advantage of getting Roy's posts via netscape.com is you can see how
people are voting on them, and more easily avoid the particularly

Ah - I see. Tell me though, why would I want to just read things that some folks have "voted" that I should see? Isn't that a bit like reading the old Pravda?


You can always ignore the votes, and if you read a story that was not getting many votes and you see that it was good, you can even vote for it yourself, thus making it more likely other people will see it.,


- and who votes for the voters?


I don't know if Netscape has a system for rating the voters.


Votes. By whom? Astroturfers from M$? Or just a great hoard of wintrolls voting?
Yeah, very scientific there.
