Riddle me this Batman, better to rate a Yahoo story low or to ignore it?
If you want a story to disappear, is it better to rate it low or to not click on it at all?

I think Yahoo probably pays more attention to how many times an article is read, and less to the rating it recieves.

Opinions?

1. Probably a combination, don't ignore. Unless....
You want the story in the basement.

2. I'm not sure, but I think the ratings
have to do with whether a story is emailed out to their news subscribers or not.

I always rate the biased ones low because I know the Freepers are doing it on the other side.

It's one of the dirty little duties of the partisan.
