More, On Comments

Drew Curtis, founder of irreverent Fark.com, disputes the "wisdom of crowds":
Curtis pointed to his own experience moderating comments on Fark, which allows users to give their often humorous take on the news of the day. He said only one percent of Web comments have any value and called the rest "garbage."
I have no illusions as to which side of the 99%-1% divide I reside on.

I can't decide which is more ironic -- the fact that Slashdot carried this, or the fact that TheHill.com has comments below this story.
