How does the star rating work? Does it show an average of the ratings or what? I've never paid any attention to these stars until this thread came up. I gave it five stars just to see how it works, but it only shows three at the top of the thread. Do I get a refund or something?

I rated it 1 star to show I have the guts to admit it.

No data roll over for you.

I've seen people imply that they can see the ratings that others give on a thread. How is that done if at all?

MD, I really don't notice them nor care if a post of mine gets any stars. If I make a post I am trying to find an answer to a question I have, not trying to determine my popularity. This is supposed to be a informational forum.

That is why when I make a post it is meant to reflect how intelligent, knowledgeable, and wise I am.

What was the question again? Yes, I give the spam threads one star sometimes. I feel okay about it. I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and doggone it, people like me.

I thought it was one of the creepiest things I've seen on Pelican but since you were so proud of it I figured you'd be happy about the memory. I'll drop it if you are embarrassed by it.

I don't recall seeing any creepy threads, what are you talking about?

It was about as creepy as a first grader being smitten with a pretty teacher.

Did you ever have that roof done, Doc ?

I had a roof estimate done and the sales person was a pretty girl. I took a pic of her up on my roof and posted it. I've posted all sorts of pics but this one took on a life of its own...

I thought it was funny that a pretty girl was up on my roof is all. Some guys thought it was in bad taste.

Of course there was the picture you took of her while she was sitting at your table doing paperwork...
Roof Girl, I am smitten...

Wow 2011? That thread created quite an impact. It had the full internet thread life, only missing the obligatory reference to WWII Nazis.

Two things made it much worse then it could have been. Mike included "Smitten" and "14 year old girl" in the same post/thread. It would have been more benign to say, girl in her mid 20s gave me a roof quote, here's a pic. Just leave off her age when she started. Chick dug the targa, prolly could leave that one off too.

Yes, I would feel creepy about taking that pic across the table, unless I needed it for some insurance reason con artist, etc. At least he asked.
