    I've noticed that if simoniker posts a dupe or there's a problem with a link or whatever, he corrects the problem and will often comment in the story apologizing or making note of the error. On the other hand, the other "editors" never make notes of the numerous mistakes they make. That is why I would like to petition the crew at Slashdot to only allow simoniker to approve stories for the games section. I come to this section because I know it is being run by someone whose head is not entirely in his ass. Who is with me?
