“Trackbacks” need to die
So I was reading this post about the chap at Verizon who turned down the iPhone, resulting in AT&T picking it up instead and selling 700,000 of them:

The post is relatively short, but just look at the comments. Instead of useful comments like “no u r rong”, “I agree with your insightful thoughts” or “lmao wut a newb”, almost every single comment is a “trackback” from another blog. Guys, I just read the article here, I don’t need to see your stupid spin on it as well. Having a trackback URL is fine, but I don’t care about reading the first two sentences! Just stop. Please.
