We have some great commenters here on Hair Balls, and it’s time we paid some damn attention to them.
So we’ll be highlighting a Comment of the Day each morning, from the previous day’s work. Maybe two comments, even.
This will all be determined by a highly rigorous scientific formula involving wit, clarity and whatever else we feel like at the moment.
We wrote about Andy Surface, an Alvin man who allegedly swindled $8 million out of New York magazine publisher Condé Nast just by e-mailing some fake invoices.
The money was deposited in an Alvin bank, but the ruse was discovered before anything else happened.
Which led to a commenter debate over what should have happened.
