Well, Joe, You might be surprised to know that I tend to agree with your view of 'peer' reviews. But try and find a better system - not so easy. As a former editor, grant panelist and a few other instances where peer (let's drop the mocking quotes this time) review is the meat of the system, alternatives really really suck.

I don't much care for anonymity either. That's why I use my real name here and professionally. It does cost me rather dearly, professionally and otherwise, but I'm happier for it nonetheless. You don't have be anonymous here with your stars either. I just told Gary he gets 5 from me. Shout it to the world if you want.

Mike, I agree - rocks would be good. But like you, I think stars are way way overrated. Then again, I don't have many do I? Guess I'm not a cool kid.
