I had a chance to talk to Rob Malda at a conference a year or so back. Several folks were complaining about how the -only- thing worthwhile on Slashdot was the wit, and wouldn't they try to increase the signal to noise ratio there.  Rob replied, essentially stating that he felt it was an impossible task to weed out the trolls and whingers, and so they might as well just try to have fun instead. 

Of course, this was after he showed us his Sims game on the conference hall projector system. I'm sure that does say -something- about his state of mind, although I'm not sure what... :)
