Hi. My name is Joe Stump and I’m a Slashdot comment troll. I admit it. I spend at least 20 minutes a day reading posts to stories that interest me. Why? Read on for more …

Slashdot comments make up the truly intelligent commentary that make Slashdot so popular. I have my settings so that I never read a comment below a ranking of 3 and must say that I read a LOT of good stuff. Some are informative, others are thought provoking, and a good majority are extremely funny.

My only question is why they aren’t exploited more. Maybe have a top 20 comments that I could browse through? Or promote journals more like Kuro5hin does. I dunno. It seems more could be done with this user added content.
