Commenting

JB's comment had me laughing out loud.

My theory of comments: all comments fit into these basic categories:
1. pedantic comments
2. The holier than thou comment
3. The troll comment
4. The overly sincere comment
5. the snarky comment
6. the absurd comment
7. the joke comment
8. the praise comment
9. the insightful comment

I think you need to add a tenth "
I just wanted to make a comment" comment. Like this one.

Is it possible to combine absurd and snarky?

Sorry Brett, but your comment falls in the generously broad joke category.

Danny, I don't think that the categories are necessarily mutually exclusive; just that normally a comment will fall squarely within one category. Perhaps a truly great comment can transcend categorization.
