I guess my thought is that the average story here probably has something like 5-15 comments. With a rating system most stories would probably still get about that many, but they'd probably get at least 4-5 times that many people rating it. For me it's just satisfying to know people are reading the story...if they want to give feedback that's great but I wouldn't mind something a little simpler that would encourage more responses since there's no actual way to gauge number of views.
