Rating Articles
---------------
In GroupLens, an article is rated on a scale from 1 to 5, inclusive.
Where 1 means something like this article is a waste of bandwidth and 5
means that the article was really good. The basic question to ask
yourself is, "on a scale from 1 to 5 would I like to see more articles
like this one?"
There are four ways to enter a rating for an article in GroupLens.
`r'
This function will prompt you for a rating on a scale of one to
five.
`k'
This function will prompt you for a rating, and rate all the
articles in the thread. This is really useful for some of those
long running giant threads in rec.humor.
The next two commands, `n' and `,' take a numerical prefix to be the
score of the article you're reading.
`1-5 n'
Rate the article and go to the next unread article.
`1-5 ,'
Rate the article and go to the next unread article with the
highest score.
If you want to give the current article a score of 4 and then go to
the next article, just type `4 n'.
