Slightly OT: Ranking noise

[Kay Schluehr]

For those people who use google groups to access comp.lang.python may
enjoy now looking at contentess shiny yellow stars - shining brighter
than anything else on the site. The only pattern I've found are one or
two shiny yellow stars for many newbie postings. According to the
staring semantics the plebs tries to inform me that those are mostly
irrelevant. I slightly disagree but don't want to give 5 stars anyway.
The other funny discovery I made is that some part of the mobocracy
thinks that Alex Martelli is average. My question: does anybody know
whether this post-infantile nonsense and site-noise that captures at
least my attention is anyhow customizable?

5 stars from me for a helpfull answer,
*kisses* Kay
