Very good point Christie. I had thought about that a bit. No rating system could ever really reflect experience properly or ensure someone isn't lying their face off (though if they post enough, it would become glaringly apparent).

I think as long as a sticky or warning was posted with the rating information that this rating is an honor system ONLY, that it is just provided as a tool to assist forum members in judging the validity of another member's posts and that in the end one must be sensible in deciding if any advice given is valid.
