MCA,

I think that I understand the concept of total votes. It is a straight forward count of the number of voters. Unfortunately, the example Graeme offered is not very illuminating. I would rather have the following example rated by Graeme.
code:
 
Person A gives 1 star and has no rating currently and was unrated at the time of voting.

Person B gives 2 stars and is currently rated at 2.1 stars but was unrated at the time of first voting.

Person C gives 5 stars has a rating of 4.1 currently and also at the time of voting.

Person D gives 1 stars has a rating of 1.0 currently and also at the time of voting.
