Review Only Items
First of all, lemme say once again that I love the addition of this option.

I noticed a couple of things, though.

First, when I receive a review on one of my Review Only items, in the black bar at the bottom of the email, where a star rating would be on a ratable item, we have this message:

"Rating included:   None - This item is not Review Only."

Typo. That "not" should take a hike, right? I mean, it is Review Only.

The other thing I think I'm noticing is that when I review a Review Only item, a "0" star rating is getting averaged in with my "Average Rating Given" stat. Now, me, I don't pay much attention to that stat---I only noticed this because the message at the bottom of Review Only items I've reviewed now says that I've rated the item before and there's five blank stars there, as if that were my rating. So I paid attention and saw that my "Average Rating Given" went down by a fraction on the next Review Only item I reviewed.

I only point it out because, for one, I know there are people who really pay attention to that stat. And, for two, there's no reason to have it if it's averaging in "0" when there's actually no rating---I mean, that makes the stat inaccurate, right?

Ah, the headaches of this new feature. I love it, though. Love it, love it. I'll send you virtual Excedrin if it'll help. *Bigsmile*
