Delete (*cackle*) everything older than a day I'm not interested in after
skimming through the first post, rinse, repeat for replies. If I find out I
need it later, Google to the rescue.

You aren't seriously basing a viewing/sampling decision off a WQ review,
are you?! You might as well just throw out your TV if you're going to
start doing that!!

Every single show he has reviewed for this fall has been a '0 out of 10'
except for the one that was on pay cable, right? What could be more
predictably useless than W/Q?
