Radio Users Score Big With New Metric

in Random Bytes

Mark proposes that we should start scoring Winer abuses.

Joey claims a lazy-eight.

What do Radio users get?

I propose a +1 for each month remaining in your subscription, -1 for each month that you used MT while you waited for your subscription to run out.

Now the big question is, will this be enough to get Dave to run-up my WinerQ with some "abuse" or do I need to go further...

hmm...

    Wow - that gives me a -12. I've been running MT for over a year and my Radio subscription just expired. Of course, since I only use Radio for aggregation, I don't think I'll need to renew it.

    If I could find an aggregator with the right features - mostly "mark as read and don't show me this post again", but also server/browser based so I can check from a few places while maintaining a consistent history - I'd be one step closer to casting off the shackles of this damn Windows box constantly (well, betweeen reboots due to memory leaks) running under my desk at home.

    FWIW, I sorta like KDE's KNews ticker - it's gotta lotta promise, but doesn't supplant Radio for me.

    There I go off on a tangent. This was supposed to be about Dave.

    Loser.
