The Slice

What % of online comments are worthless?

I'm not saying they all are.

And, yes, I am quite aware that someone reading that question could sputter "Well, how many blog posts are worthless?"

Or someone could say "You're just jealous because there are never any comments on your blog!"

Fine. But the question remains.

What percentage of online comments are worthless? There is no court order requiring you to say "100 percent."

I realize this is all pretty subjective. I mean, one man's senseless pissing match could be another's lively exchange of informed opinions.

Do you think it would be different if more commenters used their names?
