Rob Whines and Complains

<RANT>Ok I'm going to ask this just one more time. Stop bashing the comments threading. I am very sick of hearing this. We have a flat mode coded, but it has some problems that need fixin'. There will be an alternate homepage that links to flat versions of each story. Buuut I'm doing the best I can to stay on top of a job, a course load, Slashdot, and whatever bit of a life I have left, so please be patient.

Mainly there are a few people who feel the need to post that they hate threads in every other post. It's only a few people, but it's really making me mad. Worse, it is taking way to much time to delete all of these annoying off-topic posts. The worst case scenario is that we don't post any comments until someone has had a chance to confirm the validity of the post. I don't want to do this, I want things nice, open and friendly, so I'm begging that those few offenders (you know who you are) play nicely so I'm not forced to make this sort of very nasty decision.

I've got a gigantic list of cool stuff that's going to happen here right after exams are done. Everyone will be happy. Now relax for a couple of weeks so I can pass my finals</RANT>
