I don't look at the ratings much either. Besides, as Eomer pointed out, there are some amusing/insightful topics that should have recieved higher ratings, but don't, when others that are redundant and not well-compiled recieve un-fitting ratings. Since this is so, I usually ignore them, and if the topic seems interesting, I read it.

So, in short, my policy is this: ignore the ratings, because they can give false impressions of topics. (Or, "don't judge a topic by its rating"...)
