Stories that anger are probably more likely to get comments than stories that report good news.

I'd tend to agree, but that's what translates into better ratings for the bad news.

Hey, I love these feel-good stories as well. I just wish they'd get more exposure.

You know, it'd be intesting if there were a "click counter" of some sort at the tops of the threads, something that kept track of how many times it'd been viewed. Then we'd know if a thread with few comments was being ignored, or if it was just a "read only" thread.
