As Carnacki puts it, "Top comments of the day is highly subjective and controversial." Note, too, that those of us selecting comments intend no value judgment by the selections. Anyone can pick comments just as valid, just as compelling, if not more so! If you encounter excellent comments, please link us to them, below!
