Perhaps understanding a bit more about the site before pushing issues
most people seem to at best apathetic about would be a good idea.

Groklaw is not a place for seeking approval.

we've discussed this many times - it's a nice idea, but it
doesn't mean that it fits for groklaw.

Sorry for assuming that pj was male. (I am actually somebody
who uses the female form in my letters for unspecified
persons)

I was looking for a way to tell some commenters that I really
appreciate the work they had done and thought that writing a
comment would be overkill.

Ya, not really for this personally. The regulars here already know who the
heavy hitters are here and we don't need a popularity contest.

The only thing I can see this providing is an avenue for shills and astroturfers
to come in and try show some support for their drivel on the site by using a
bunch of dummy accounts or anon visits to try and mod themselves up.

Well, if you want to code up a way to put the best comments at the top or flag them with a star or something, I wouldn't mind that. But you'd have to donate it to GeekLog too.
