Nonetheless, others will attack your classification, starting with me! For the most part, I agree with your classification (and not just because my only post made it into the coveted "signal" category), but I think you made a clear error in putting the "meta discussions" posts into the "noise" category. As evidence, I submit your very post to which I am now replying. Clearly it falls into the "meta discussions" category, but if you seriously considered it to be noise you wouldn't have posted it, right? Or are you deliberately posting noise? why would you do such a thing? > You might want to try the same little game - in a 24 hour period, > how many posts were you *glad* you saw? > But that's a very different question.
