Rating Definitions
Ok. We confess. The terms used on the rating scales are silly and pretentious,
but we often find silly and pretentious to be amusing - at least we do when we
are the ones being silly and pretentious. If you find this to be both annoying
and confusing, then ignore the rest of this page and just remember this much
simpler definition: 1 bad, 5 good.
