Good suggestion as always Dis. However, I don't think that the Agoracom Hubs should be private parties. The Hubs belong to all of the members of Agoracom and not to just a select few who spend their days there. I don't think that anyone should rate a poster solely on the basis of an initial post. I am very pleased when a new poster appears on the Jag Hub, welcome them and thank them for participating. I never rate them at all unless they spend some time with us and post at least several messages. What is the point in giving someone a 1.00 or 2.00 when you have absolutely no idea who the person is or what eventual contribution they may or may not make to the Hub? I appreciate being introduced to a Hub by a well-respected member. However this would not be necessary if members did even a modicum of due diligence in learning who the newbie is and what they have to contribute. All IMHO.

Have a great one.

Doc who has only just returned from Vegas somewhat wiser but definitely not richer.
