    I just tried to meta-moderate, but it told me there were no comments to meta-moderate. I wait a few seconds, then it can only deliver 2 comments to meta-mod!

    If this gets modded down (or, can't think why, up), then the next meta-modder will see it! Real-time metamoderation!

    Any AC's want to comment how this signals the doom of Slashdot / OSDN / VA Linux?
