Is "best" really the proper defining word to use? More eyeballs are viewing the RIP Michael Jackson thread, thus resulting in more potential up-votes -- based on that, I'd be hard-pressed to establish it as the "best" comment... maybe "most up-voted" is more fitting.

Edit: Huh? I'm being downvoted, which is fine, but why? I meant that there might be an interesting way to take eyeballs into account to weight a vote, but IIRC, PG wanted to see how long we could go without vote weighting.
