Unless I misunderstand, the voting is for the replies, not for the questions. Or maybe the questions can be promoted to a queue, no idea. But that's not that different from questions posted to Usenet. The popular ones are asked often, the less popular ones once in a while, and might also not result in solutions. > I think Google Groups have 5-star-rating system? You might want > to check on that.
