Why do we need "moderation" per se? Wouldn't something simple like a simple 0-10 "rank" scale work much more effectively and much simpler? I'm thinking that everybody has the ability to rate every comment on a scale of 0-10. All the scores from all the users are averaged and you can sort by average score or whatever. You could still keep this karma stuff by having select people (good comment posters) ranks count for more than just 1 vote or something. Every user can moderate every comment once. Then it's okay if the KDE hater ranks KDe comments as 0, the KDE lovers will rank it as 10. But the really stupid posts (hopefully not this one) everybody will rank low. I think this method could be a lot more straight-forward, unbiased, simpler to implement, and probably more runtime efficient.
The pictures are broken because they are being sensored by Big Brother. They don't want you to know there really is no hurricane. It's all a plot by the government to boost lagging sales of plywood.
I loved the Babylon 5 series. I really loved the first four years of the five year arc. The fifth year was, IMHO, the weakest year but that's not surprising since JMS had to write the show so it could all wrap up at the end of the fourth year should they not have been picked up for a fifth. Regardless, I think it was a great show. Yeah, there was a lot of continuity, but that's what that show was about. It wasn't an episodal sci-fi show. It was a five year science fiction novella made for TV. Oh, did I mention I really liked it?

Can anybody tell me what this new Fax number is? Thanks!
