    I'm here for the comments, however I do like the fact that the community is being engaged on some really great ideas as to how the best of all worlds could be achieved by extending the technical framework of the site.

    Regular scheduled stories are great as, dipping in and out of the site from a non-US country, it does mean that there is always something to look at, the odd 'as it happens' would keep the site really fresh. Ensuring that quality is high and the overall frequency is not too high so as to keep the discussion density growing is really important at this stage in proceedings. Besides, without lots of comments what are we to do with all the mod points??

    All said and done, if you are expanding the list of editors, it would be great if you could have a "dupe nazi" or perhaps even a big Editor Karma hit for repeat offenders. Given the fact that comments are what it is all about, duplicates have the unwanted side effect of diluting or splitting discussions across multiple locations, as well as the usual raft of sarcastic remarks.

    Keep the site polls coming, they are great!
