It's a good start, but it needs to seem like it has more of a point. Maybe start with an explanation of annoyingness, then some advice for getting rid of annoying people (maybe tell them quietly that they are annoying and unwanted), then say why this is in everyone's benefit.

I would have liked to have seen this expanded and given a bit more of a purpose as catwoman suggested. Unfortunately the author hasn't posted since sept 02. I would move the convo back to the article but will bow to the greater wisdom of the fellow miners

I'd been avoiding commenting on this one, because I couldn't think of anything to say about it.
I second KJ's vote to move it, and I'll tell Anna.

Hi all,
well, it's true, this piece doesn't really get there, does it?
and it's interesting, coz even the author doesn't think it's quite there...
this is interesting, coz unlike a totally uncritical SOG, what we want to create here is an atmospherere of critical selection, such as exists in PR, but with different criteria...
the more you think about it, the more tricky that is...
this is the problem with just creating an SOG where everything is welcome, and a real 'library' of articles that are all'worth reading' to one extent or another.
hmm
not feeling sobre enough for any further analysis (typing is already proving tricky)

SOG? Sorry, can't work out what it is. Sure I'll feel very silly soon.

That's okay then, no way I could have known that unless I'd already heard someone mention it.
I just hate it when it's something obvious.
