Another point
Also, I've been pondering this, what if a post is a good quality post (well built up, good formatting of the message, fluent and nice sentences) yet is full of completely wrong assumptions. Then what? The quality of the post is very good, the contents however is completely rubbish. How to rate such a post? A 3 would give the impression that there's something to the contents, and a lower rating wouldn't do the quality of the post justice.
Problems problems....

I hunt for the truth
I am the one Orgasmatron, the outstretched grasping hand
My image is of agony, my servants rape the land
Obsequious and arrogant, clandestine and vain
Two thousand years of misery, of torture in my name
Hypocrisy made paramount, paranoia the law
My name is called religion, sadistic, sacred whore.

Then why did I suddenly, within a few minutes, drop from 4.3 to 2.9 on this thread where a string of ones suddenly showed up?
Maybe they were from differnt members? Maybe someone made several new accounts in order to vote more then one time? Percy explained it to us as Granny explained it to you. So, either Percy is wrong, or one of the scenario's I just mentioned happened.
