Its often really infuriating to see someone else get a lot of credit for saying something that you've been saying for, well, at least a year and a half now. Someday, hopefully, enough people will be using this site that I can actually go to the music industry and negotiate the proper rights needed to do memestreams with music.

And, BTW, I don't happen to think that Slashdot/Kuro5hin have "solved" the filtering problem. :)
