What's your reasoning for this, versus, something like number of replies? My
somewhat naive intuition thought that I would want to somehow capture the fact
that a particular user has interacted more frequently with an item vs. simply a
boolean preference. Or, is it just that in the big scheme of things, it won't
matter much, so why complicate it?
Thanks,
Grant
