I wouldn't give your rating a second thought. In my opinion, ratings are completly meaningless. If you notice, when you click on someones profile and you haven't rated them,
1 is the DEFAULT selection... makes it too easy for someone to just zap you with a 1, hehe.
I've also noticed that most people don't bother to rate you until you're in a heated debate in some thread and you've pissed some people off... (well, that's my case

) That's when I usually see I've gotten a few more votes, and my rating falls further. hehe
I can't remember when I saw my rating go up any. I think it's around 4.5 these days... I should be in the 3's before spring. LOL
Have fun!
btw, I gave you a 10! I know lots of others will just give you a 1, just because they're pricks.
