I am going to start adding every Slashdot user who is a Columbus Ohio resident to my friends list.

I just like using the little green ball as an attention grabber when browsing comments.

Background info: I'm a land surveyor.

I'm getting tired of driving 200+ miles every work day. I only live 7 miles from my office, but lord knows my project manager can't maintain any relationship long enough to keep us busy with in-town work.

I really hate it when moderators mod down an anonymous coward's post regardless of it's content.

I don't like AC posts, and I ignore them as a rule. Slashdot has a fine tool for me to ignore AC posts with (I just set them as -5) and it seems like such a waste of mod points to mod an AC down unless somebody else has already modded the post up. It's not like you can make the score -2 so you don't see it when browsing at -1.
