Bookmarked, I'll get around to reading this later...

To the people who voted parent up: You do realize you are encouraging comments like this that doesn't add anything to the discussion or the article, right? It's only mildly better than "first".

To the commenter: There's an easy way of saying you found something interesting; vote it up.

EDIT: Oh, I completely failed to consider that it was sarcasm, thanks for pointing that out. I did notice the commenter only had 5 karma and figured he was just new but yeah sarcasm seems more likely.

I think the commenter meant his post in a sarcastic way - related to procrastination itself. (i didn't vote it up)

anyhow...you stand right in your assertion - comments like these don't add to the discussion.

It's mildly funny. I don't think they were going for more than that, nor do I think it's a good idea to vote into oblivion all people who want to be mildly funny.

It might have been funny the first time, and mildly funny the 2nd time, but now every post about procrastination on every social news site on the web gets a couple of these comments. It's just noise after awhile.
