You might have noticed that CC changed the rules without any notice (that I noticed anyhow). There are habits that develop regarding rules in place versus rule changes that are simply that--habits that also take time to change. I liked rating the comments more than I care about the rollercoaster of incivility ratings, since some of you are simply gaming that system. And there is no chance to go backward, so there you go. 


Blessings happen, and are not necessarily "abusing" the system at all. Again, consider alternatives.
