Why do some comments have a star?

Every so often, someone posts a really funny comment, and I feel stupid just posting the remark “Haha, that was funny” or even worse “LOL”. So I’m going to try giving them a star instead. Chris Blackwell wins the first star.

Hopefully people won’t post comments just fishing for a star. (I realize that this is a vain hope and that I will probably have to cancel the star program within the week.)

Raymond has been involved in the evolution of Windows for more than 30 years. In 2003, he began a Web site known as The Old New Thing which has grown in popularity far beyond his wildest imagination, a development which still gives him the heebie-jeebies. The Web site spawned a book, coincidentally also titled The Old New Thing (Addison Wesley 2007). He occasionally appears on the Windows Dev Docs Twitter account to tell stories which convey no useful information.
