The approach in Lampadas is to allow all registered users to rate a
document on a 1-10 scale. If enough people rate documents, which seems
likely since I expect many users, the values should be fairly
reliable.

So I will not "censor" documents, but readers can see quickly whether
other readers think it's worth reading.

Microsoft is banking on Windows 2000 to be a Trojan Horse - they want to get
this into companies and then start exploiting inter-relationships with the
product. But I always say: beware of geeks bearing gifts.
