Hi Sandra!

I agree with everyone else here.  Don't let it 
bother you too much.  The rating thing was 
supposed to be more for fun than anything else.  
And of course, when there's fun to be had, 
there's also someone always there to ruin it.  
Those who vote for series they like, quantity vs. 
quality, and of course, those who vote just to 
get their gallery on top. *groan*  Unfortunately, 
when you have a free service like rubberslug 
(many thanks to Jason, btw) you usually end up 
with a lot of bad eggs.  (ie:  all the trouble 
with image thiefs and fake galleries, etc)

I've tried to vote for every single gallery that 
had their rating system enabled, and I feel I was 
very fair with all of them.  One thing to note 
though, I started to vote early, before everyone 
started changing their designs and layouts.  
Since then I've tried my best to go back and re-
change my votes to any galleries that made 
changes to the graphics/layout of their site.  Of 
course, other voters might not have done that, or 
even realized it.  That might be the problem for 
some of the lower rated galleries (besides the 
idiots voting with all 1's).  I've watched my 
gallery's ratings go steadily downwards, though 
granted, my collection isn't nearly as 
spectacular as some here.  I just try not to let 
it bother me that much.  I am absolutely in love 
with every single one of my cels, and that's 
what's most important, right?  I'm not out to win 
any popularity contest.

I'm glad that you're starting to feel better 
about the whole thing.  Your gallery's always 
been one of my top faves, and you're just a 
wonderful person in general.  Great collectors 
are part of what make this hobby so much fun-- 
and so much fun to share.   

*big hug*
