I think the ratings are a joke. I have 2 stars. You know why, not because I don't provide intelligent, informed opinions. It is BECAUSE I provide opinions, and am not afraid to engage in vigorous debate that I "ruffle some people's feathers." The only people who bother to rate people, in my experience, are the ones who are pissed at you so they give you a 1 star rating. If you go by who has the most stars in order to determine who to listen to, you will be sadly misinformed. But hey, this post will probably piss someone else off, resulting in me going to 1 star. Oh well.
