| #18 Leave it up. Most of us can work around it. |

| #17 If you don't like the auto-snark, skip it. It's not like it's not set out, in color, to distinguish it from the actual story. I didn't know that fooling the copyright trolls was the reason for the auto-snark, Fred. I thought you were just imaginative and have a sense of humor. |

| #16 I too like the "Meanwhile and However" entries. Snark is good and right. Our enemies and those who crawl on their bellies (metaphorically or otherwise) deserve to be mocked. That said, I am painfully aware at this point that Harmid Karzai once ran a restaurant in Baltimore. If some modification can be made without too much trouble, all good. Otherwise, I will continue to read on as before. |

| #15 The autosnark is good, we need more of it rather than less. Hamas could be not just the voice of sweet reason, but the gangsters of gaza, the butchers of Sderot, or the proxyboys. And goodness knows there are more inserts for however and therefore than rats in New York. They practically write themselves. So, go |

| #14 I like most of the AS, but I am guessing that RemoteMan has taking a dislike to the attachments to Califrnia and Detroit. They are a bit cumbersome. However (did u c wut i did thar?) from time to time Fredman syncs up with the autosnark and it is amazing. I say keep, but prune. |

| #13 So we must eventually prepare for the day when Hamas is no longer the voice of sweet reason. |

| #12 Besides which, I've been at this so long I found myself repeating myself. Might as well let the software do the typing... |

| #11 When I get time (at a premium since I retired) I like to work on the autosnarker. Even if we do away with it, I don't think I'd do away with "However," and "Meanwhile," In the present instance, I put the Caliphornia in the wrong section of code. It's now been moved so it will only show up the first instance. |

| #10 If you couldn't tell, I like snark: auto and otherwise |

| #9 I like it, but wouldn't die if the majority decided otherwise. |

| #8 I like the auto-snark. |

| #7 Over time, the autosnark has become semi-transparent, but is still moderately funny. As Pappy says, the purpose was not humor, but troll poison. And maybe, making fun of Pakistain. Would be a fun Natural Language Processing project to write AutoSnarker 2.0. |

| #6 Sure, if we aren't gonna get hit with a suit by copyright trolls again and if we do, the complaintant is willing to foot the fees. |

| #5 We can do that if desired. Other opinions? |

| #4 The auto-snark in all these articles has long since lost its humor value. It just makes them more cumbersome to read. I'd like to offer the suggestion that it be turned off in the new year. |

| #3 Her 'filmography' barely qualifies, but I shouldn't complain... |
