That I shall!
Thanks for the heads up.
Forgive my error. I think the troubling post was on engadget. At any rate,
I
think my comments are still valid in general, and we may see more posts
like
this that would be good to respond to.
Perhaps the original Engadget report was a bit negative, however, the
judging by the attitudes of gizmodo 'invited commenters' they seem to
have their heads turned around in a painful position, one which I will
leave you to guess. The actual gizmodo article was good.
Interesting observation I've made of a great many sites that allow comments
(not just technical sites - this includes amazon book reviews, tools, etc.) is
that the comments often comment on the preceding comment, and not on the main
subject, so that if a comment takes an off-topic path, and if that comment
generates a large number of follow up comments, a reader might get the
impression that this off-topic path is somehow central to the main subject,
whereas in fact it isn't.
It bothers me but I don't think there is anything that can be done. Some
threads end sooner if we don't respond.
Michael
