No one here got to put in their two cents.
Reminds me of how polititions in "power" are out of touch with us "peons" us stupid lower class people and make these big decisions without asking us what we all think.
The fact that any of you are surprised about this reaction show how out of touch most of the mods are.
Slashdot rates posts, so you can pick what level you want to see. That won't work here, but letting the group decide on anon posts would keep the mods happy.
