[Introspective] About the rating scale

Thanks to those of you who have provided input on the matter of my ratings
scale. In retrospect, I definitely see your point about the advantages of a
5-point scale. But it's too late to go back now. I don't want to "change
horses in midstream," so to speak. I would feel obliged to redo the votes
for "Please" and even "Actually" again, and I don't want to do that.

Regarding having an "n/a" (not applicable) option, I definitely plan on
including one for the more obscure, non-album songs. While it's nearly
certain that all (or almost all) "raters" have heard the "album songs,"
there may be significant numbers who haven't heard the uncollected b-sides
and unreleased tracks. So an n/a (or, alternatively, blank) option will be
available for those later ratings polls.

Thanks again!
