Incidentally, the strategy of simply rating one's page all 9's, if one is required through some means of rating it at all, has the distinct advantage of making any system using such filters more annoying to use. (One would, of course, except any page making a political statement or other material that one wanted to get out to as wide a number of people as possible).
(I think I want to start a web search engine looking for pages rated SS~~002 9, SS~~004 9, SS~~005 <5, and all the others don't care.)
A configurable search engine on this basis could be very nice. -Allen
