Unfortunatly, removing comments gives you no incentive whatsoever to go
there, if there's nothing changed since last you went. I know that
doesn't matter in the 2We get more advertisers money" corporate sense,
but I think it matters in the community sense.

I don't see a problem with moderating comments that people might find
offensive.

I'll keep the rest of my comments to myself on this issue.
