The Dumbing Down of Rantburgers' Comments - can we reverse the trend?

2006-08-10

I've been an avid reader of Rantburg for several years now and have noticed a trend going from informative, insightful, and educated comments to plain and simple crap. Yes, occasionally there are comments under the posts from dependable Rantburgers but allot of them have nothing to do with the articles and are nothing more then lame wise cracks.

Is there any way to reverse this trend and get back to the quality of comments that made Rantburg what it was?

Thanks,
Yosemite Sam
