Why don't we make a wiki instead of a pure comment system (somewhat tongue
in cheek, since I know wikis are not trivial things)
The advantage of wikis are that flame wars tend to burn itself out, with
both sides actively deleting comments, until none is left. And the only
things that are left are non-flame based comments.
I agree largely with fergus and george that discussions limited to the
variants themselves are much better than flame wars over ultimately
unimportant points.
