I have always pointed out that the responses are almost always as good or superior to the original article.

All online forums are the same—poly-tiks, Marines (especially Marines) and your/my favorite topics.

Keep It Simple Stupid!

When a moderator deletes something for ny negative reason we don’t know that for sure now do we!

Go to a political blog comments section and I’ll bet you'll find these commenters

I doubt it.

Comments would indicate someone actually reads blogs.

Seems pretty unlikely.

But I really can see the logic to those that say comments are the worst part of the Internet Tubes

I don't know. Sometimes I skip most of the article and get right to the comments. Especially on Politico, where the article is surely some ridiculous left-wing agitprop, and the comments are sure to dissect it as such.
