This is in response to jlongino:

I like the concept of the Node Reaper.  Like many of us, I have used UseNet sites, even moderated ones, and have been frustrated by the proliferation of redundant questions, abusive comments, and in particular, false and misleading comments.  On the PM site, things are fairly tidy (as dws put it), making it more useful and pleasurable.

I also like the mysterious nature of the Node Reaper.  I wouldn't attempt to explain it.  I find it more interesting to learn of it slowly and in a harsh way, to start off as a member treading carefully in fear of his wrath.
