Western Civilization, safe at last.

OK, a small portion of it.

As anyone who watches the Heavy Metal Sunday posts knows, I spend a good amount of time cruising YouTube. It's a great resource, filled with some amazing gems among the dross, but the bane of the literate user's experience are the comment threads. Maybe I missed the pop-up on the front page of YouTube's site that says "Abandon all Rules of English, ye who enter here."

The comment threads are where the bottom feeders of the net congregate. Horrible spelling, atrocious grammar, excessive or no punctuation.. it's all there, with liberal usage of profanity.

But now we have hope. Comment Snob It allows you to filter out the worst offenders the same way that spam comments and poorly rated comments are hidden. Better yet, it tells you why the comment is hidden!

I love Firefox, and in fact out-geek kshandra when it comes to tweaking and adding to it and Thunderbird.

Thanks for the pointer to Comment Snob. Have added it to my Firefox. I keep my extensions on the low but useful side. But I do happily add on the useful ones.
Again Thanks
