Being dim again

I know it's happened twice to Pavel. Overnight someone had rated several of his post with one star. I think at one time it knocked him down to three stars. which is of course hardly a reflection of his average post [advocating furry animal products aside ) ]

Trencher

I have never voted down a post, though I do rate posts that I find useful and informative.

Trencher,

I hadn't noticed that Pav had slipped half a star. That's a bummer, and totally wrong. In the main, I don't take notice of the star rating, and confess to never having made a rating. Perhaps that should change.

I value the views of folk that contribute to the site, for the knowledge, humour and enrichment to skiing. It is an opportunity to put something back into our sport, and to learn something new every week. It is also interesting to guess what people would be like to ski with, and talk to. Whether you are a one year skier, or a forty year skier, (cough, cough), this is August, and here we all are like it's mid Feb. Crazy.

Coming back to Pav, we all know how big a contribution he makes to us, through J2Ski. Not just knowledge and experience, but his sideways thinking about subjects. His commitment to us, such as the competitions.

Now that you have pointed this slippage out Trencher, there is a small thing that we can each occasionally do to mark our respect and gratitude to Pav.

Ironically, Pav would be the first person to protest at such a thought.
