There are 4 votes, one is all negative, three are all positive. But the voting statistics show 76% positive instead. Where'd the extra 1% come from?

Good report. My script was rounding the numbers up and producing an extra percentage point. This is now fixed.

developing a /. compatible scoring system. next step is to replace the actual number with: bad, poor, good, excellent. so people cant see the maths errors.

Quoting:so people cant see the maths errors.


Now slashdot needs to replace mis-spelled words with images depicting what they are trying to say, and they'll be all set!!
