Commenting on a general news site is pointless as there is no general interest holding all the different opinions together (such as one would find with a blog or magazine website). As a result, most of the commenters are just blowhards with nothing better to do obsessed with having everyone hearing their opinion on even the most trivial of topics. Furthermore, cbc.ca has so many readers and thus so many commenters that once a comment is posted, it may be off the front page within seconds and buried in the rest of the comments within minutes. The necessary bandwidth to facilitate the extra traffic and uploading of comments and the necessity of hiring moderators I'm sure is a colossal waste of money that could be spent much better by the CBC!

Way to show the world how racist, bigoted, and illiterate Canadians behave. I am indifferent toward the Technorati pingbacks, but find them sophomoric and distracting in general. A little dignity, if you will. CBC's comment forums greatly degrade their web content. Way to show the world how racist, bigoted, and illiterate Canadians behave.
