It seems that most of the highly voted comments are about how something/someone is bad/wrong, but there are some positive ones in there too, like those by ktharavaad, lutorm, kirse, patio11 (x3), jbr, plinkplonk, chriseppstein. Actually, 11 out of 30 isn't bad! I tend to forget that Hacknews is a public forum on the internet. I think I just need to focus on the worthwhile comments, and ignore the negative ones (but it's hard: http://xkcd.com/386/ http://xkcd.com/386/). If everyone did this, the problem wouldn't exist. BTW: On the homepage (not this one), see the "lists" link at the very bottom, on the left. It's: http://news.ycombinator.com/lists http://news.ycombinator.com/lists The 3rd one, "bestcomments" is what been submitted here, but with an argument "?newsToMe" appended (presumably to avoid hitting the last story about it, 544 days ago: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=93526 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=93526)
