Default What's your view? Should Google Remove the PR Toolbar?

What's your view on Google removing the toolbar that displays PageRank?

Personally it brings a little colour to my web browser but could you live without Toolbar PageRank? Would not seeing it help the web as a whole, or hurt it

I take the view that if Google are going to keep the PR system then I may as well use the toolbar to look at various sites` PRs - including my own of course.

I voted against the bar. There is no real need and webmaster forums would be nicer without the PR related "how to increase my PR" topics

ABSOLUTELY ONE HUNDRED PERCENT get rid of the stupid little measurement. It means nothing and is the cause of most of the crap spam pages online!

I'm in favour of getting rid of it..
The only indication that means anything is N/A or PR0 and they are normally so out of date to be useless. What nice places Forums would be if it were Gone.

PR is just like a BIG FART which everyone can smell, but nobody can see its objective

Internet linking was certainly more fun pre PR days.

It definitely still looks like an un even vote to get rid of the green bar yet some ppl obviously would rather keep hold of it. As i said for pure decorational purposes keep it but every thing else as OWT put it in his graceful words GET RID!
