/RatingSystem in use.  Please feel free to browse these quotes from the Edit page rather than normal viewing.  If there are quotes you feel are particularly good, prepend a Image: 46 or Image: 73 symbol to the start of them.  If there are quotes you feel are particularly bad, prepend a ~ symbol or Image: 74  Those with several Image: 46s will at some point be collected to form a Best Of.  Those with several ~s may at some point be removed.  Please don't cancel the symbols out: something with "Image: 46 ~~ Image: 46" is more informative than if it had no markings.
