lomaca,

when the people at the R & S website started doing this some time ago I e-mailed them asking the reason(s) because what they are doing can be confusing and not really helpful to the punter who looks for any sort of consistency with ratings/rankings etc.

And anyone with a cynical and suspicious mind could easily say with some justification that its also deceitful.

I'm surprised that no one on the R & S forum has mentioned this, not to my knowledge anyway.

I'm still waiting for a reply to my e-mail, and I've had a couple of birthdays since sending it.
