I turn ratings off. Not because I do not value your opinions and guidance, but because my life is already rated and quantified in too many ways. Nor do I rate others. What could possibly give me the superior knowledge or instinct to put a number on any of your work? If I comment, it is generally something like, "Very Nice!" That is High Praise from me, and to say much else would imply that I am somehow gifted with Good Taste. If I judge your work, am I not in a sense trying to set myself up as a superior authority? Not a Job I'd willingly accept. The "Last Week in the Gallery," was NEVER a compilation of the week's BEST work. Only those I happened to like. If someone asks for sincere advice, about something tangibly measureable, I will certainly try to give helpful opinions.
