The purpose of the THUMBS is to provide the haters with yet another venue on which to hate on you...if they DISAPPROVE of your question, they can express their opinion by giving your question a Thumbs Down! Oh, how it hurts my feelings to see all those downward pointed Thumbs under my question, which I poured so much thought and research into! I say, their opinions are about as valuable as a hill of beans, and they can shove their Thumbs where the sun don't shine!

Now there seems to be no real point to it all, because people aren't going to be real when rating questions and answers.

It's to rate your question & evaluate how much thought you actually put into it.
