Does anyone else think that news sites that allow people to enter comments after news stories are just wasting drive space? I never read anything interesting in the comments after stories in MacWeek, or at ZDNet, or at Slate. I guess I have clicked on comments occasionally, hoping to be surprised, so in that sense these sites are doing their job, given that their job is to sell ad impressions.
