a new sportive discipline was created on austrian online it-news magazine futurezone: everytime a new message is published by the editors a bunch of youngsters try to post the first comment stating nothing more than the fact of being first. as i think that's quite a good therapy for those poor kids suffering from acquired concentration deficiency and while only some of the bum-tight readers are getting seriously angry i cannot see any harmful effect of this competition.
however, i wonder why public broadcast orf did not create a special contest site for those speedy nerds already long ago (instead of shooting lagopus lagopus)... i am thinking of a page automatically generated at random times where they can proove their skills. a highscore shows the fastest "firsts" and with the generated traffic orf maybe can defend its top position in the ranking of austrian websites. duh!
