Note to readers: As newspapers develop a much greater presence on the Web, writers are afraid that their value will increasingly be judged not by the quality of their writing, but by how much "buzz" they create; specifically, how many online comments their stories generate. I worry about this, too. The problem is that online readers don't send in lots of comments in response to cogent, contrapuntal exegeses on complicated subjects or witty observations about the ironies of life. Online readers generally send in lots of comments in response to ill-thought-out but provocative diatribes.
