    The one time I visited Digg, I found the comments worthless.

    Ah, it's not just me then. Good. Most of them seemed to be "Cool! I love this! Digg!!"

    Slashdot comments are not by any stretch of the imagination uniformly good, but I have picked up an awful lot of information (or some combination of those words, at least) from comments over the years.

    (Plus, I'm still not entirely sure how Digg's revolutionary system for readers voting on stories is different/better to kuro5hin's.)

    (I'm not asking.)

    I'm not offended by 'fuck', but I'm sure there are things that will offend me that I'm glad nobody prints. But I could just follow your lead and claim to be mentally superior and more tolerant and understanding simply because I know a euphemism for sex and have no inhibitions about spouting it.

    Maybe I could make a blanket statement about a whole country based on the fact that I think I'm so deep simply because I can liberally use the word 'fuck' without remorse.
