Hi All ..  This is far from being an issue that we don't care about.  We do care.  We just have limited resources, and we're making lots of site updates in our 'spare' time.

In a day our so you'll be able to see how many people rate each object, which will give you a better idea of the value of the rating. 

Also, David Hanna's suggestion that we only let people who comment, rate is a good one and I'm trying to get some Engineering time allocated to this issue.  I've put it into the Engineering task schedule and hope it comes out soon.  As soon as it does you'll see it, and I'll let everyone know here on the forum.
