The worst part is that that half probably /should/ be invisible.
And worse than that, are the really stupid comments that get
moderated up as insightful and interesting.  There's so much crap
there anymore that even with moderation a lot of it floats to the
top.

It's like some moderators see a post with big words or "complex"
phrases that they don't understand, assume they know what they 
are talking about and moderate them up.  Not to mention the 
consistant practice of moderating anyone who makes a lame argument
about linux and the desktop through the roof.  -roll-
