"I'm a web editor at a regional news site, and moderating reader comments is a huge pain in the neck" Right. You're doing it wrong. Stop moderating reader comments. Let readers moderate reader comments. Stop creating one way comment systems

Drew, I use dropbox and I appreciate it, but I find communications from you and Arash to be strangely borderline ... off. A discussion from three weeks ago is not "an old issue." That these issues made it to the FTC in three weeks is proba
