		<description>Man, are these all ideas you learned at BlogWorld? Very cool.

I have to admit, my first instinct was wary of the grading system about comments. I can see QRCs point that it helps guide you to which comments to read, but I also think that sometimes there are people who may have one really good point - I would hate to miss it because the majority of times they are an idiot so I skip over them due to their low rating. Just a thought.

BUT, since I just finished posting a fairly, let&#039;s say pointed, post on SWA&#039;s blog about people needing to chill out about the changes, I figure I will practice what I preached: see how it goes before making a full evaluation in my mind.

On a separate point, and maybe this is just me, but I find that I avoid posting on sites that require log in. I find it to be an extra step I don&#039;t want to take - which is why I don&#039;t post on the Delta Airlines blog. I hadn&#039;t thought about the benefits QRC mentioned - but even still, I think I would prefer no log-in.

Thanks for all the news and for putting it in a way us airplane wannabe geeks can understand!</description>

		<description>So going back on what I said on your piece about the restaurant in LAX, I think this is a great blog. I realize you&#039;re one guy, but eventually it&#039;d be great if we had logins...who knows, maybe this could be your bread and butter some day? Logins would help so we don&#039;t have to enter our emails each time with SezWho, which might be a pain and certainly discourages feedback. 

I brought up a point about Yelp, which was that on that site there is no negative feedback...you only punch buttons for positive. You brought up an equally good point (amazon does this well) that sometimes people just write really dumb, or uninformative I should say, things. It doesn&#039;t matter if you don&#039;t agree...it&#039;s when people just write silly stuff that doesn&#039;t matter. Speaking of, I&#039;m sure you&#039;re familiar with Amazon&#039;s format...instead of SezWho, you just have a thing that shows x/x of respondents thought the comment was informative. If you only have a few minutes that&#039;s the fastest way to figure out whether or not to read a comment.

Anyhow, great blog keep it up. Glad to see you&#039;re working on some changes but the content is really good, I know I&#039;ll keep reading.</description>
