Well, I filter out ... (3.66 / 3)
... stereotypical content ... the old definition of information as a difference that makes a difference ... so I don't count, "I agree so you are right", "I disagree so you are wrong", "I agree/disagree with you because I think that doing so helps candidate X", "You obviously have the hidden agenda of supporting candidate Y", and that often takes care of in excess of half the comments.

Of course, if a diary hits the reclist, the content/comment ratio often takes a severe negative hit. Its not called the wrecklist for nothing.

I've been accused of being a Marxist, yet while Harpo's my favourite, it's Groucho I'm always quoting. Odd, that.

Re: Well, I filter out ... (none / 1)
Mr McF, I recall fondly the first time you responded to a comment of mine at dKos. "Rein this pony in ..." LOL

Well neither the psychology of the individual nor that of markets allows constraints defined by economic theory of rational agents.

Say, I've been meaning to report to one of your Biker reports that I've encountered a couple multi-taskers in MD: phoning while pedaling. Is this the seed of a trend? I hope not.

Diversity is the key to economic and political evolution.

Oh my lord ... (none / 0)
... I multi-task on my bike ... I listen to Australian news and science fiction short story podcasts while riding.

But ... I don't call those gadgets to allow people to use the mobile in the car "hands free mobiles" ... I call them "brain free driving".

At least if the cyclist is doing it, they are mostly risking their own neck.
