Their like seagals: they come in a big crowd, shit all over the place and leave. I Many of them don’t return again and are not ‘our’ target audience at all. Their fire and forget visitors.

I was featured on digg FP too, and experienced stupids comments like this. But who cares, For ten people who make stupid comments, you surely have something like 100 new readers.
