For the record, "This presents a troublesome, albeit interesting, avenue for further data aggregation, which could be used to target ads or sold to third parties" is a lousy comment too. The problem is not the form, it's the content. What do you mean, it's "troublesome, albeit interesting?" That is totally devoid of insight.

The reason I read a comment thread is because I want to find things that experts have to say. If grellas has some comment about the applicability of privacy law to the monitoring of someone's immediate surroundings, then great, let's hear it. But if I don't walk away from the comment having learned something, I would rather it not be there.
