#38 There was a time here when a Retort thread would actually go north of 1,000 comments.
It was noticeable because our host would have to break the comments into 2 segments, Comments 1-1,000 and Comments 1,001-onward. Threads with 200, 300, 400, or more comments in each tread was not unusual. Heck, logging in first thing in the morning might reveal an overnight "discussion" of dozens, sometimes 100 or more comments in a single, hot thread.
"It's 4:34 in the morning and you're still arguing...
"AmericanUnity, on the ravages of addiction.
Your point about 300 comments on The Register's website (translating to an unknown larger number of Talosians passively reading), if extrapolated here, would lead to a mystery audience of what, dozens?
The front page currently has 24 threads, with a total of 370 comments among them. This averages to a little more than 15 comments per thread.
But I understand and appreciate what you're saying, Lamp. And reiterate that I respect your POV and enjoy your contributions.
Most especially your #36: "A different approach to a same end goal?"
As one regular Drudge Denizen used to say: Oohrah!
Our president is a disgusting human being.
The chains he has forged in life are long and heavy.
I expect that the White House will be occupied by his ghost.
Provided he does not tear the place down.
