How do I know which nodes are best? Which are Good?

Currently, by setting your sort in User Settings to sort by Best First. Do you do this now? Maybe it would solve your problem.

Cheers,

    That will tell me which is best. It does not tell me which are good. It does not tell me how they compare to one another. It does not work if the messages are in different threads.

      It tells you which has most votes, right? The number of votes doesn't really tell you which are 'good' :) So, what's the difference if you see the number, or rely on the sort by the number?

      P.S. I am not trying to argue with you, simply understand your point of view.

        Try sorting (10,3,-1), (0,0,-1), and (5,6,7). In each case you get an order, but you're missing a lot.
