An aggressive post about Crooked Timber
November 22nd, 2009Somebody has the mistaken impression that people read CT for the posts. The comments are the only reason to “read”1 CT.
The posters at CT deserve some credit for having attracted so many good commenters, I suppose. But there was probably some first mover advantage in this case, so not too much credit.
- i.e. skim the post and head straight for the comment section [↩]

Huh… once every few months they have a provocative post and I subscribe to their RSS. After a couple of weeks I unsubscribe, due to the low signal to noise ratio in their posts.
I never read the comments, unless I get a Google Alert about a person I -stalk- follow with it.
