The whole "slashdoty style" of discussion is insanely popular as well..I know
people that refuse to look at anything that isn't like Slashdot.  I set up a
Synch bbs at one point and the only comment I got was "eww, it's not threaded."
 All the other features ignored....the web has made people incredibly lazy, in
my opinion.
