why? Has anyone pro-comments SEEN what's in the existing comments? Comments were added to the book because it was easy to do so. However they were /not/ made super visible because the point of the book is that the whole community could edit the docs - what's the point in having helpful comments when the person commenting could just as easily (and thankfully many, many people have) simply add their 'comment' to the docs themselves? There are over a thousand comments in the book, I would estimate less than 10 give any value (and I think that's way-generous). A near 1:1 signal to noise ratio just isn't worth it; please feel free to link to any comments you feel contradict my opinion. > > I would do 2 thinks to prevent misleading info: > > 1- post them as a thread to this group with the text of the page above > so it allows quick answer from this group why? why wouldn't the author of the comment just post their question - if that's what it is - in the group directly? > > and... > > 2- have a rating system like thumbs up or down to classify their order > of display and to prevent people from taking them seriously.

Which would mean another place to look - or quite simply: not. Ttherefore instead of just having irrelevant comments, there's then a google group full of irrelevance too.
