A voting system is also useful for those who just want to see the gems 
and not wade through the detritus.

I've looked at a few systems, and have never seen one that integrates 
seamlessly with news. I keep toying with writing one, but that requires 
supporting FreeBSD with D first <g>. Yeah, I would do it in D. The 
webnews thing we currently use is in PHP, and it frankly shows how 
desperate things are to have to use it.
