margarita girl likes to live dangerously, or at least to gamble! 
I did rate 'em all, and all the miles, including the tranches of 300s, have posted, like good little swallows returning to the roost. ^

First of all, you can't know anything about margatiragirl; she doesn't post in this forum. It's margarita girl. But anyways:
Nah, I think she's just practicing to run for the US Congress.
Ie, she could have simply been waiting until the last minute to rate the dines (per the version of the rules that said you did need to rate them but had XX days to do so), If the bonus posted before then, no need to rate. Only a need to rate if it was that deadline was hitting and the bonus still hadn't posted by then (or, if you wanted the bonus miles as soon as possible, so weren't willing to entail the possible delays in posting that running this experiment could entail).

Nothing that sinister. 
I read the rules, and didn't see anything about rating the dines, so I didn't. And I have not been checking the i-dine forum as regularly as I should have, so didn't know about this new condition. Anyhow, I got lucky and it worked out. As a rule, I refuse to rate the dines unless there is something in it for me!

I'm with you and Jailer - I hate to rate unless I get something for it - just habit from the "good old days" I suppose. All that rating for naught? 
I am glad to see all of my miles have posted without any trouble.
