Attack of the slashing dots

December 15, 2002 by Scott Rosenberg

Well, my column on Supernova just got Slashdotted. Not sure why (and the little intro doesn’t exactly explain what it’s about besides quoting my lead); but it’s always an exciting opportunity to read that mixture of smart commentary and careless drive-by ignorance directed at one’s writing. The weird thing is, 98 percent of the comments seem to be directed only at the couple of sentences quoted from my lead — as though they were intended as a stand-alone philosophical statement rather than the lead-in to a much more specific piece of commentary. Virtually no one seems to have bothered to click through and read my piece. Oh well.
