Probably. Who needs it anyway? If anyone is worth to be called a friend he/she knows and uses CP (and thus the article) anyway. So?

Because I am a friend of myself  Sometimes I am reading an interesting article while at home, which might be helpful at my job, therefore I often send links to myself

Then maybe you should checkout the "My Bookmark" functionality? Works really nice.

I know that feature. However, it works nice only if you have less than 30 bookmarks set

Doh, didnt know that. Well then, forget it and use that[^] instead, this solves your problem with bookmarks (and some others too).

a post with 1 or more "1" votes will be colored normally. the gray color doesn't appear until the rating goes above 1.0 but below 2.5 (? some magic number).
don't understand. feel dumb. need nap.

Naw, it just takes 3 or more votes to show. They can be all 1s or just end up <2.5 (or whatever).

From the FAQ:
The Noise level drop-down allows you to specify the minimum score a message must have in order for it to appear normally on the boards.
If a message has been given a score that is below your noise threshold then it will appear dimmed out on the boards. A message must have at least 5 votes and be below your threshold to be grayed out.
Messages that have been voted greater than 4.5 will be marked as red regardless of the the number of votes it has.
cheers,

looks like the limit is actually (as Shog points out) 3 votes, not 5.
and, what are the numeric levels of the thresholds?

You're right - I've updated the FAQ.

IMHO, it might have been better to change the number of votes needed to colour a post grey from 3 to 5. It's getting more and more common for "normal" posts to be downvoted easily.

And richly deserved in all cases, i hold!
*cough*
er, well, since it only takes once '5' to turn a post red, surely it shouldn't be too hard a post gray? A post has to be felt fairly strongly about to even get three votes - not to mention three that add up low enough to turn it gray. The increase in gray of late prolly has more to do with strong feelings over the war (and BS trolling...) than anything else.

How about this one[^] then (no need to click, it's the post by Chris Losinger above)? There are many more exceptions like this, and they are becoming more and more common.

It's easier to piss people off than to please them. If I piss person A off for example, he'll go ahead and rate my post a 1. Then it needs only two more people to vote before it turns grey. And since the final score depends on the colour of the medals aka status of those voting, it may be difficult for a post to get out of greydom.
Anyway I just made a small suggestion, nothing too important, and I wonder why I rambled on so much. You do have a good point though.

Hello Everybody,
Each time i post a message on CP... i didn't get any reply from anybody at all for my query... what's going on CP? or we don't have sufficient code masters to slove my query?

Maybe all code masters are on vacation

That's because you are posting VB questions.

Hello,
Is it matter which type of question you are posting? or you mean to say only VC++ questions are worth to entertain?

Chris means that most of the guys hanging around at CodeProject are C++ or C# programmers. You can count the VB programmers here at five fingers (ok, the only one I know is Paul W )

Isn't having a thread dedicated to VB a proof?

CodeGuru has file uploads - one per post. This is helpful if a code file is a little too big to sensibly post in answer to a question. As it is right now, we have to either 1) upload it to our web host (which not all of us have), 2)post it directly on the board (if it's text), 3) email it.
