Exactly.  The more I think about the issues raised in this thread, the more I 
believe a voting system (similar to what maemo is doing perhaps) may be all we 
need.

Say, any viewer of p.g.o can vote a post +1 or -1.  Then we can gather two 
metrics per poster: 1) how impactful his/her posts are (avg / median / max 
number of votes).  2) how interested are readers in his/her posts (avg / 
median / min/max score.

We can then have threshold to hide / collapse unpopular posts.  That part can 
even be done using JavaScript and you can the threshold on the page and more 
posts will collapse/uncollapse...
