(If I read Slashdot every day, I'd never get anything done, so I only look at stuff there that people specifically point me to.)  But this morning I saw the <a href=\"http:\/\/slashdot.org\/article.pl?sid=02\/04\/20\/0017256\">Hugo announcement<\/a> there, and saw a posted comment noting that it only took 21 votes to get on the ballot in the short-story category (and saying that memberships were really expensive), and figured I might as well supply a little more info.  So I did; and lo and behold, a few short hours later my posting has been moderated up to a score of 4, so even people like me who don't read low-scoring comments will see it!  Cool beans.  I sneakily listed SH as my URL, so it could conceivably even bring us a bit more traffic, though that's doubtful.<\/p>\n<p>(For those with no idea what I'm talking about, on Slashdot the readers can give points to or remove points from posted comments; a comment starts with 1 point, and can be given up to 5, and you can choose to read only comments rated higher than a specified point value.)<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I almost never post on Slashdot, partly because I don&#8217;t generally read articles there &#8217;til the discussion&#8217;s long over.
