Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

    more like 0/100 that it would be a woman -- they can't even drive.

    When he refused to seek medical help, which I as publisher offered the newspaper would pay for, I had to fire the circulation manager for flatulence. After the women working for him marched into my office gagging, I called him in and he vehemently denied passing wind. When it happened again, I passed all his employees in the hallway, opened the door and almost puked. He was a good circulation director, except when it came to fresh air.

            Didn't I see a Myst Busters episode where they determined that a match has no effect on masking the smell of ass? Guess this lady hadn't seen that one.

            Let this be a lesson:

            Don't get on a plane if you're toting some angry bowels.
