The answer to that question is as variable as the people who use it. It's quite clear that different people have different expectations from the database. The surprising part is how many feel like their expectations are being met.

In a similar vein, as for the thumbs, members ought to feel free to give them for whatever reasons they believe to be appropriate. I'm often surprised by the images that get thumbs versus those that don't, but it's more likely a failing on my part than on that of the thumb giver.

I think sometimes it's simply a matter of someone seeing a picture in the random image or in the newly added photos on the home page & the image strikes whomever as worthy of a thumbs up. Frankly, if I went through the db & thumbed every photo I think worthy of thumbing --- it would take the rest of my life to accomplish.
