So unexpected traffic is "spam?" Seems like everyone posting has a stake and is pretty engaged with the topic.

Negative != Disrespectful

Unexpected != Illegitimate




This isn't just traffic. This is interrupting someone else's conversation to complain after reading an editorialized headline.

Having dozens of people post "I'm moving to Firefox!!" doesn't contribute anything. It detracts from discussion. For exactly those reasons the thread has now been locked.

We screwed it up, like we always do.
