Let me rephrase. The discounting I referred to is largely subconcious.
When it is concious it's a roll of the eyes or a thought like, "Oh that
whiner again. I don't have time for this right now." And the 'd' key gets
hit. I didn't mean to imply some sort of smoke-filled backroom where the
developers decide whose inputs to listen to.
Everybody applies such filters whether they think about it or not. Here are
a couple of mine:
Xah Lee? Hit the 'd' key.
Tim Peters? Read it no matter what the subject says.
