If you are, I would like to know your sources. These days, there
are few and fewer productive hours to the day, so I would just
settle for a filter which wouldn't suck as badly as unfiltered
reddit. (I would write one myself, but I have to pay the monthly
bills, so somebody else has to implement clustering in reputation
space).

don't make this place a fucking tomb, tech-wise.
