Oh My Stars!

I happened to be looking thru old messages via Google Groups and just
noticed that someone has been rating most of my posts at 1 star out of
a possible 5, i.e., the lowest possible rating. Even in lengthy
threads where many people have replied, my posts are the only ones that
have been rated.

Apparently this has been going on since mid-March and the rater has
managed to lower my overall rating from 5 to 2 stars. (Oh, the shame!)
And he's a regular and active reader of this group, since my messages
posted as recently as yesterday afternoon already have their 1-star
ratings.

I'm not sure what's funnier -- that someone is dumb enough to imagine
this would have an effect on anything, or that they're dumb enough to
keep this going for 3 months despite the fact they're not having an
effect on anything.

Someone with a grudge against little ol' me? Who could it possibly be?
