Newspaper "Reader Comments" drivel

Occasionally I scan newspaper web site "reader comments" on various articles. A few intelligent responses lost in a cacophony of mindless rants.

Which leads to my conclusion:

Never listened to him much, did you?

Everytime I stray to the reader's comments, I kick myself, because I know full well there's little, if anything, useful there.

Just like Mr Ed...

As a former resident, I still read daily the Portland Press Herald online. I think they specifically write articles daily on Question 1 Gay Marriage to draw people to their website as each article is guaranteed to generate about 400 reader comments.

I always liked, "Make sure brain is engaged before putting mouth in gear".

Hard to listen while your head is being held under water.

Even harder to talk, so, arguably, easier to listen...
