I would have serious reservations about a reader vote determining what others are able to publish. I don't think a popularity contest is the best way to determine content. Some of the best commentary - and that which creates the best discussion - is contrarian.

Fundamentally, I think the current system works. People who comment often and would like to create posts such as Dave and Bubba have become Contributors. Others guest post. I have wanted to but am too lazy and have been relegated to the comments section where I belong.

I totally disagree. You couldn't be more wrong. You need your own section of this website. Preferrably at the top-right, with a gold-star border.

It's a shame that you and I got off on the wrong foot, Jack. We probably agree on a lot. Relax, grab a beer, and have a good laugh at my (our?) president tonight.

(Btw, I responded to your post, Oil CEO)

I agree with Jack, apologies OC. I abhor limitations on free speech (is that bloody funny in someone who disagrees with money and is more communist than most, or what?). We do have a VERY small minority of trollish posts here, could be some of mine could be interpreted that way but I would never write them with that intent. While that is so I would suggest that judicious post post moderation is the most appropriate means of control.
