  1. um, weird moderation? by boomka · · Score: 1, Interesting

    it's strange how a few people that actually put some posts here saying that this is a dupe and even made links to original slashdot discussion are being modded into zeros as redundant.

    I think the article is redundant, not the posters who point you to a correct place to read the discussion. They are just being informative - if not for them, you would miss an actual discussion.
