I also think that people, in general, could spend some time on their comments. Short 5 word comments may be able to add to discussion but more often than not, they are simply a pun or a message of agreement/dissent. I think more can be said in those comments. If you agree, why do you agree? If you disagree, why do you disagree? If it is a pun, fine add your pun but then under it, also add relevant opinions to start discussion.
I am obviously not a chief here or an admin or anything, simply a user- However, I maintain the opinion that we should be promoting civilized, quality, conversation in the comments. This site takes a bit of personal investment to get into and that should show in the comment section to differentiate it from other aggregating sites that are littered with garbage comments and empty content.
I hear your point and agree with it soundly.
