To people who have done this;
why did you create Front Page Post(s) on MetaFilter? The motivations are interesting in themselves, and may also provide positive reasons for people to cross the rubicon
from lurker to poster.

Assuming any MetaFilter users are interested in writing posts or comments during voting and counting, how will this bloggie handle what will be its 4th US presidential election?

About the (fabulous) 'X new comments, show' function: I can't say enough good things about this, as it makes following long threads so easy compared to the old system of having to reload. But why not take it just a small step further - instead of making us click to load them, why not just have the script go ahead and
load the new comments when they are detected? (Maybe a user preference?)

Forgive me if this was asked before (I searched the FAQ), but I see a lot of people asking questions in AskMeFi who have never commented. Why are the guidelines different from MetaFilter (where you have to comment a certain number of times before you post)? I understand that some people are lurkers and we want to be accepting of that, but it seems like a lot of the questions which break the guidelines could be avoided. Maybe I'm just a whiner?

This FPP's typical and relatively successful feminism discussion devolved into a mano a mano between DNye and myself. I admittedly took his bait and
engaged; my bad. This led to DNye's
epic 3,600 word comment (plus addendum and corrections). I'm trying to disengage in that topic
1 2 as I try to avoid pissing matches these days. He wants to keep on fightin'
1 2 so I'm asking him to bring it here.

Why is it that sometimes Metafilter shows the correct number of posts and comments since my last visit and other times it's as if I hadn't ever clicked a thread?

Would commenting
Fifteen times in one thread be considered breaking the 'chat threshold'? This question was asked
before and Matt weighed in three times. Just wondering.
