You know Mary Anne...
There are some of your posts that are so good, I wish Robert had a way to flag them in a different color on the table of contents. This was one of them.
Wouldn't it be cool if we saw a really great post, and had a button we could push (once only) to "vote" an "attaboy" at it? Maybe five to ten such votes from different people and the post would appear in gold on the screen or something. Maybe the more votes, the better the color. Bronze, silver, gold?
It goes without saying that such a system could be adapted to thumbs-down votes as well, with appropriate colors. I dare say a few of mine would show up in brown text. ;)
