Thanks for that. Interesting.
BTW, is it just me, or is reddit really so messed up and poorly designed for browsing posts? I just hate it every time I visit. I find it hard to navigate...
It's threaded, which sounds like a good idea but has its drawbacks. I much prefered the old usenet model where you would typically read threads in chronological order but you could also thread them if you wanted.

The threaded view is too chaotic for my tastes. A good old flat forum style with the sensible use of quotes like this one, is my fav.
