I am amazed at how flexible Moodle is and how well is handles so many different teaching methods. AFAIK, the average is of only the rated posts. If I could remember which students had already submitted a substantial reply I could opt to not rate the secondary contribution; however, I find it better to let the students know the value of each post. That way, if a student thought he made a substantial contribution and sees that it was not sufficient or what he had hoped for he can go back in and try again. The reality is that I often do not remember which students have submitted and which have not so scoring each post is easier for me.
