Hi, Gary, Hi, Jeremy:  Agreed, it's much better if commentors, or people
putting in ratings, especially, say something intelligent and constructive
or critical about whichever game they're commenting on, but maybe a lot of
them aren't articulate enough in the variant patois to be confident enough
to expound a bit, or care that much. If what you're against is the idea
that some stranger could zip in from nowhere, anonymously condemn a game
with a bad rating, and disappear, I can see how that would be
irritating--to let people get away with cheap shots like that--it doesn't
sit just right with me, either. (Case in point--what if, in our
governmental elections, voters were asked 'why?' they voted for
whomever, as they voted?  Now think about why they aren't asked 'why?')
