By the way, looking at the data it is obvious that more recent comments have a very large advantage in the karma collection game. Similarly, a quote has an enormous disadvantage if it is added in the middle of the month when thread activity has died down already. It would be more fair to normalize by, say, median karma score of the given month, and again by median karma score of the day of the month, but I think nobody cares that much.

Curse you Kennaway!
You can’t compete with raw volume!
I have a secret weapon for next year, though: Kaas’s Twitter feed.
Wait, pretend you never read that.

That one’s on my favorites list too.

The French singer?
You’ll see. Bwa ha ha ha! Ahem.
