Didn't know about that one. 'Replies' is a pretty good metric for at least showing the 'popularity' of a message (maybe not so much whether people liked it or disliked it).

Don't get me wrong, I like the voting feature. It's fun to work with and think about, and has its uses. I just doubt if votes alone will ever become useful for ranking/filtering messages here.
