- Geezus_42 3mo agoMuch like your own, and this one!

- phikappa 3mo agoI wonder if this ritual of meta-self-policing serves some particular purpose or if it's just a case of the brain drawing comfort from going through a familiar ritual. "This comment adds nothing" is like the reverse amen in church of our days.
- pseudalopex 3mo agoThe purpose was to discourage comments which added nothing I thought.
- warshinder 3mo agoAnother example of context collapse. Meta-meta commenting always adds something if only unironically.
- Geezus_42 3mo agoI think it's just people who can't help but tell others how to live their lives.
- stavros 3mo agoThe GP comment adds social pressure so useless comments are less likely to be made.
- exe34 3mo agoIt confirms for me that I too made the right choice and it reminds people that haven't made the jump yet that they have a choice in how their operating system treats them. I'd say it added a lot more than your comment.
