Perhaps it could be shown only after you have voted. I fear that previous ratings may unfairly influence the votes of others. "Gee, I was going to givr this an 8, but look at who's giving it a 2!"

Seriously, if in future it can be a "hidden" vote, then that would be better. Not that anyone on here is influenced by others of course. Ian. __________________ help save The Vulcan...

Also to Treebay for putting it all together. 3 cheers to all for a lot of effort and great work. I always enjoy seeing the ideas other people have with styling trees. Jeff
