Thanks Poppi, assuming it isn't an incredible task to do with active server pages and all, it would seem to be a good way to do things...people who are "Nielsons" don't even know it! So, as they wander around and click on thumbnails, a "vote" is made that they don't even know about. They click on what seems good to them. Granted, "friends" might be more prone to click on "friends" pics, but the odds are, through a random choice, that you are getting just plain people who have a diversified interest. As 100 people (or more if it would be deemed necessary), you get a random public opinion. Well, not that I can change this site's way of doing business, but since there was so much controversy, I thought I'd give R'Sity a suggestion.
