Funny, I seem to recall spending a mod point on some guy who posted a
lengthy, well-written rebuttal to one of those "VBR" posts... *chortle*
That'll teach Slashdot to give me moderator points, dammit!

Next topic: How to karma-whore the Slashdot crowd so as best to benefit
the Ogg Vorbis project. =)

I just about choked on my morning cup of tea when I read the original "I
want VBR" entry. Er, duh? I suppose it could have been a troll, but
really now. And you forgot to mention the several dozen "I want a
MP3-to-OGG converter" debates that rage through that forum. Yawn.
