I heard of the site from listening to Magnora7s interviews with Carl on THC - interesting stuff.

I just liked the simplicity of the idea of either making a positive comment on posts or just ignoring them: why can't people just do that generally?

Being allergic to tinfoil & too touchy to type, I normally just lurk on the periphery, enjoying the repartee from those that can phrase their brain droppings better than me.

Been reading ZH for about 7 years but never joined and wouldn't now give the satisfaction of doing so, as it's just controlled opposition nowadays, but still has some great comments which is why people read it I guess. Anyway, decided that this wagon may be suitable. Hope the ride is tolerable...
