Let's connect some dots....

Let's not. Let's ask for a release of the LWN site source code, so someone could say implement a reasonable comment filter.

there is a greasemonkey script that lets you do exactly that.

Not that I don't appreciate the effort that went into that GM script, but it is in no way a replacement.

Just as an example: I regularly use at least 3 different computers, with 3 different installations of FireFox, separate bookmarks, cookies, etc.

To be honest I do not always pass my own filter. ;-)

To this long time Red Hat user, the continuous Ubuntu bashing here is just becoming a bit boring, and frankly, it is looking pathetic. Talking a lot about what could be done distracts from the important stuff that is actually being done. People are of course free to determine whether something is important to them or not, and it is mainly the lack of respect for this important foundation of free software that annoys me.

For people who remember the discussions about the test bed Red Hat created with Fedora and the way Novell is dealing with Microsoft, the whining about Canonical or Ubuntu not contributing enough to the community is a very bad joke.

More on topic: to me it seems that the correct tooling is essential for getting the work done, so I welcome this very interesting contribution by Ubuntu.
