good point.
two things

  1. don't comment..just vote (or not)
  2. copy/past what you are commenting on.

Exactly, or comment something like "you lost me at ....". Not everyone is as tolerant with comments that are indistinguishable from comments made by a comment bot. If you walk like a duck and talk like a duck, chances are you eventually get flagged like a duck.

yup...
BUT
I'm beginning to wonder if it's not possible to program 'comment bots' to write things like 'you lost me at' and then add a random few words from the post.

is that possible do you think?
