I read metafilter and fark "religiously" as it were, but *never*
*EVER* the discussions. Go for the links, follow the links, do
not loiter on the site itself. Just as bad as slashdot. Every
once in a while I see a link to a news article that is obviously
wrong or misleading, and go into the discussion area to see what
people have to say. Invariably, they didn't catch it.
