Is everyone just sucking up/karma whoring by agreeing with PG? I think the volume of comments is at least partially because everyone reads them and thinks about them. Or is PG the only thing worth talking about here? Hardly, but given that it was his essays that brought many (most?) of us here to begin with, it's something we all have in common. So his essays generally get more attention. Furthermore, his essays tend to attract attention from all over, and visitor comments probably wind up on news.yc.
