Thanks to everyone who participated in the unscientific survey on commenting. The results are back, and I'd like to share them with you.

I am curious what the catalyst was that's soured you to commenting/ers (?) though- did someone particularly illiterate start ranting at you?
No more than usual, Esmeralda! I'll be posting more about this in the next few days - but first I want to let the answers come in with minimal context from me, just to see what all the readers think. :)
I usually don't have anything very useful to contribute, but I like to be able to say "that's coooool!"
You mean, "that's LindaCOOOOOOL!" :)
understood!
