Yup only on rare occassions do I use the rating box. I usually leave a comment and only that. Ratings are for the birds. My personal opinion is they shouldn't even exist here, for the exact reasons Artgum mentioned, the range of newbies to masters. Put me next to Rochr or hobbit and I'll look like dirt any day. Of course I do the responsible thing and turn off the vote and rate options when I upload an image, but thats just silly me.
