notice how the readership and comments on these threads have declined since the imposition of the negative comments rule has been brought to bear on FR. Sort of like tax cuts and investment in the U.S. economy.

More taxes overall lower revenue for the government. Rules on comments about apple/or pc's and fewer comments at all.

Hmmm?

Given that the additional comments that "bulked-up" the Apple threads in the recent past were those of Apple-hating trolls and the ensuing verbal food-fights, NO GREAT LOSS.

It's actually rather nice to have a thread with lots of on-topic comments, and not much chaff.

And of course, the occasional complaint that the tech-thread cease-fire is somehow equivalent to higher taxes. :)

Ain't it amazing, that when the cease-fire was imposed, the trolls found out they didn't know how to post a relevant comment? My, my. All they could do is troll. Well, again, NO GREAT LOSS.

Now, the topic of the thread is language and profits. Have a comment to make?
