    i've lowered the metavote tolerance now, so that it takes many fewer "hated it" clicks before a question is whisked off the front page. i hope this isn't considered censorship..

    or perhaps there should be a way to flag and remove "not a yes no question" questions? though i do enjoy some of our contributions from clueless questioners.

    You 'enjoyed' them??!!! Really? You didn't want to chump them over the head?! Wow! I should try and cultivate your outlook/ patience :).

    it is my hope that the sole benefit of dearinter being down so long is that it may have actually herded the homework question people over to google where they belong...

    I bet the homework question people will come back when school is back in session in the US this autumn - I do like the option to make the question go away faster, though!
