Am I the only one who doesn't go to the "Greatest Page"

[masuki bance]

and could really care less?


or is that -couldn't care less?



careless? carelessness.

[EndersDame]

1. I don't go to that page as well

[Sherman A1]

12. Same Here

Don't go there, never had a post go there either.

[optimal-tomato]

2. I don't go, but it's the principle of the thing.

I HAVE OPINIONS ABOUT THINGS!

[PretzelWarrior]

3. i only go sometimes to gaze over some thread of mine that made it.

other than that, there are other ways to get the real heart of good info at this site.

I might go there more now that it is a fair rendering of truly great threads distilled onto one page.

[enigmatic]

4. I think I've gone to The Greatest Page 3 times in 5 years

I'll just go straight to whatever forum I want to read.

[uppityperson]

5. I don't, even though a couple of my OPs have

I don't get what the commotion is about either, but am interested in seeing who is speaking out the loudest against it. I find that very interesting.

6. Don't, haven't, ever.

And it's 'couldn't care less'; saying you could care less implies that you care at all, which probably isn't what you mean.

[dysfunctional press]

9. +1

[leftstreet]

7. You should get unrec'd for saying 'could really care less'

It's COULDN'T

If you 'could care less' it means you don't really care as less as you could

:rofl:

[The Straight Story]

8. We have a greatest page? (nt)

[Common Sense Party]

10. careless? carelessness...

Care Les Nessman.

[TexasObserver]

11. I don't go there, but I do use Recommend and Unrecommend.

I consider the recommends information for brousing GD. I'll probably look in on those with a lot of Recommends.

13. In Defense Of The (formerly) "Greatest Page" (on the entire internet)

(yes, really)

Sorry to have to leave it at that for now.

[Control-Z]

14. I go to the greatest page

and check what is above the fold. The most recs on the right, and the newest recs on the left. Then I move on to the forums.

[Luminous Animal]

15. Me, too. I don't have a lot of time at work.

The greatest page leads me quickly to latest news and issues during my lunchtime.

I am rather flabbergasted by the amount of free time that many DUers have to cruise around the forums of this site.

[Princess Turandot]

16. Nope...

I load a tab group which includes the DU Big 3 when I start my browser. The greatest page is pretty much meaningless to me as well.

[Luminous Animal]

17. It is, of course, all about you.

[Angleae]

18. My DU bookmark goes directly to the forum lobby.

And the old lobby at that.

[pecwae]

19. No. I never go there

or to the Home page. I default to the Latest.

[Vidar]

20. I don't either, but I like playing with the "recommend" button.

[sufrommich]

21. Not only do I not go there but I also don't understand why anyone

would accept,at face value, that the best posts are on the greatest page. All your seeing there are posts that people bothered to vote for,it has nothing to do with the merit of the post.

[City Lights]

22. You're not alone! nt

[NoPasaran]

23. I never do

This whole recommend/unrecommend thing reminds me of high school.

[DarbyUSMC]

24. I think it is "couldn't" but never have been sure. I don't go to the greatest page.

It reminds me of ratings for Yahoo card games. If your rating isn't as high as people at the table deem "high" they'll boot you off the table. The ratings are, in fact, meaningless outside or even inside of the Yahoo world where games (years ago anyway) were scripted and no matter what your skill, you could be in the wrong seat, so would lose.

I would think you could only un-recommend something if you had recommended it or am I misunderstanding the deal? Oh, well.

[Scout]

25. i go there, but i also go to each individual forum that i'm interested in reading

i read far more threads/posts than i make, and i don't choose only by what's on the greatest page.
