An aggressive post about Crooked Timber

Somebody has the mistaken impression that people read CT for the posts. The comments are the only reason to "read" ((i.e. skim the post and head straight for the comment section)) CT.
The posters at CT deserve some credit for having attracted so many good commenters, I suppose. But there was probably some first mover advantage in this case, so not too much credit.
