Invocations (quality) cannot be called by BillOreilly because BillOreilly is not privileged - sorry.

it's stupid and unnecessary in my opinion. I really don't care if it's there or if it's not.

I don't care for it. When the comment is quoting another, it shows a bunch of gibberish up top, too. It's a nice idea, but not implemented as well as it could be. I wouldn't miss it at all should it one day up and disappear.

Hey, thanks to your featured comment I learned that ALL Europeans hate us because of our lawn flamingos. That's news you can use, brother.

I still think the Featured Member Comment is cool, but maybe it needs some more tweaking. Also (I believe it was ant who first suggested it), maybe registered members should be given the option to hide this feature if they elect to. Maybe that will encourage more people to become members, just so they don't have to read about choggie's nipples (also a Featured Member Comment once, I distinctly remember).

BTW, check out how many times choggie talks about nipples.

Before you, (Dag or Lucky), give up on it, please consider graphically integrating it better, 2/3rds of a page instead of the full width. I think there's something to it, I can't pinpoint it, I'm willing to concede that it might only be seeing my/your own gibber up there...

Yeah, it might be time to tweak Featured Member Comments. Hey, even I'd like to be known for my higher quality comments.

Make it a running banner in a separate frame at the bottom of the page, like the one they have on FOX!

The filter option to remove the featured comment keeps magically resetting itself on my account so every day I come back it's there again.

Oh GOD no, not a stock ticker (rolling banner), those suck so much.

The featured member comment is not a bad idea, but I think you should fiddle around with the execution of it. They way it is right now is not optimal.
