Please entirely ignore those silly Google Groups 'star' ratings - the more you pay attention and comment on them, the more people* will 'use them against you'. See this thread for an example. http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.java.programmer/browse_frm/thread/2be9e9db2daa3627/4df2e47c2ddccf5f I recommend you read the entire thread, to get a feel for what these 'stars' are, and how they are seen, and by *whom* (the irony is that a lot more people become aware of a 'star' rating when it is commented on). * Specifically - petty people with no lives, who lack the courage to make a public comment on the group. .. >Whoever did that, you can learn to do thing more careful next time. >Use brain, don't use force. If 'Google stars' was the most harmful way for them to express their 'force', I'd say - leave them to it - until they leave their teens and can actually converse with others like adults. -- Andrew Thompson http://www.athompson.info/andrew/ Message posted via JavaKB.com http://www.javakb.com/Uwe/Forums.aspx/java-gui/200708/1 --- * Synchronet * The Whitehouse BBS --- whitehouse.hulds.com --- check it out free usenet! --- Synchronet 3.15a-Win32 NewsLink 1.92 Time Warp of the Future BBS - telnet://time.synchro.net:24
