Apparently, reviewer copies have been making the rounds on ebay and the word on the street is that it is his best work in years. Perhaps because it's been his only work in years, wasn't diamond age his last? (it reminds me of those cheap movie advertisements that go like: probably the best comedy ever.)

It seems like a reasonable suggestion.
Only yesterday, I was thinking of making a post saying, "Y'know, one of these days, someone's going to post the meaning of life, the certain way to happiness, and fulfilment, on Slashdot, and it's going to get moderated -1 Offtopic; and no one is going to see it."
Well, obviously a few people.
It seems like a worthwhile option.
Yeah, yeah... Offtopic... yada yada.

Count me as a supporter. When I've fiddled with my preferences I've always wondered why there's no 'lowest scored first' section.

Thank you, and if you are concerned about your God-given Slashdot rights, please join the fight to include the Lowest Scores First option
I Think You Can Hack This Yourself
Go to your Comments preferences, and use the "Reason Modifier". Set all the ones on the right to 6.
I haven't actually tried it myself, so let us know how it works.
I'm not sure when these Modifiers appeared. My ego would like to think it was in response to a suggestion I made a while back about allowing different parts of "N-dimensonal modspace" to attract different users.
Note that the modifier hack (assuming it works as you desire) is not perfect because while you will perceive Trolls as being higly moderated, there is still nothing to reflect the fact that they have achieved a higher Trollish Karma or reached... dare I say... Troll Nirvana.:)
Now, I expect this to get modded way down, and show up at 6 from your point of view.

I think this would be especially helpful when trying to mod an article that has been up for several hours. I'll join you. ;D
