I wasn't trying to be oblique, or clever, or make "such" a comment. You've started a blog. You've had some thumbs. Now you're shouting about the rating system.

That's fine, and understandable. The best way to get involved in a cause is because it affects you personally (see the "scratching your own itch" bits of the community cohesiveness thread).

Don't be so trite. You've talked about both your posts and those of others in the other threads. This thread talks about neither, but the abstract.

This poll does not mention the content of specific posts. You asked how the thumb function should be viewed; most of the time I've seen things dramatically and consistently thumbed down are when a post contains no Maemo content at all. You asked for views as to how we think it should be used, that's a view.

I was also trying to extrapolate the view of how the "people"[1] view how it "should" be used. (FWIW, I think trying to pin down how it "should" be used is a hiding to nothing, and we're better off just understanding how people do use it).

Cheers,

Andrew
