Fair enough. I've seen a lot of quite innocent but flippant comments absolutely hammered before so it stands out that this was the top one.

The article was not suggesting or presenting anything particularly interesting, but seemed to have been modded up because of its potency. Perhaps this is also what happened to my comment! On your topic, however, I agree that it would be sad to see a Slashdot-esque consistency to opinion on here, but I consider it an inevitability. When it takes over, yet another site will become our refuge :)
