Ratings explained

Sometimes, you'll see that I've rated something. I owe my rating system to Michael Burkhardt's original system, although it appears he's changed the way he rates things since then. Anyway, this is the gist of what I mean when I rate things:

Stars awarded	Verdict
0.5	*Abysmal.* No redeeming qualities.
1.0	*Terrible.* Pretty much garbage.
1.5	*Bad.* Just plain bad.
2.0	*Poor.* Some redeeming qualities, but not enough to make it worthwhile.
2.5	*Mediocre.* Just as much wrong as right.
3.0	*Decent.* Worthwhile, but nothing particularly special.
3.5	*Good.* Solid and very enjoyable.
4.0	*Very Good.* Really enjoyable—very little to criticise. Or maybe no problems, just not an instant classic.
4.5	*Great.* Top shelf, possibly a classic.
5.0	*Excellent.* The best of the best!
