Topics like the Glary Utilities Pro create over a hundred responses.
You should find a better way to sort these.
For example, you should be able to delete the trivial (thanx, &c) notes from the hundred responses.
And thanx of course,
Ashraf is King of the Freebies!

@jivadas: Thank you for the suggestion. I totally understand your point. Currently, however, dotTech does not have the capability to filter out comments although I may add it in the future if I can find a way how (I am not a professional programmer so it will be a bit hard for me). No promises, though.

I can understand their (jivadas) point……………but,….like Adrian, I think that this forum, while unique, is like others where there may be many comments that are helpful & many that are just like a check-in, with a few words(HI…I agree….that's nice, etc.); other posts are very involved & highly technical, & we also just have plain ol' fun. We get along quite well here, & can tolerate the wide diversity of styles & opinions. But what you won't find but rarely here, is character judgments & name-calling, etc., like some other forums I visit.
IMHO, when someone starts a new job, or comes to a new forum, without getting to know others & let others give & receive feedback, the 1st thing to do seems not to say how things need to be changed: “You should find a better way,……" and “you should be able to delete the trivial (thanx, &c)…" The writer SHOULD choose their words carefully, as a few definitions of trivial, are: unimportant, inconsequential, insignificant, trifling, petty
That last part "delete the trivial"….implies that the writer KNOWS what is or is not trivial……..& that is making a judgment of others value of their worth in commenting.
Again IMHO, that is pretty presumptuous…it also implies that the writer is “better than others,” & they must NOT consider their own content as trivial—otherwise, according to their own criteria—we SHOULD delete their comment.
Touché.

@Al: I think he is the HappyPerson from GOTD, i.e. Inas. Could there really could have been such a coincidence?

Hey Adrian (spelled correctly)
When HappyPerson replies here…
they "will know what i'm referring to!"
[hint.......someoone else tried to copy/paste HappyPerson comments as their own this past summer on GOTD............AND.......there was an imposter using HappyPerson as an ID too...it got to be ...........really stoooopid for a while...

Hey Happy Person (or would you rather be addressed as Inas???)
Glad to have you here!
I've been active on dotTech since last August; as you may be able to surmise by the fact that I have a few # of posts during that time. I've pretty much quit commenting on GOTD, & usually only glance at their site. There are still several good & helpful people there, as well as newer ones, but it got old seeing others attacked & berated & hated 
on a regular basis, especially Ashraf—which brings out Ashraf supporters who defend his thoughtful, educational & helpful comments (that's how I ended up here), but can also bring out jealous counter-attacks at the supporters, etc., etc.,……..such a pity & a waste of human effort.
You are one of the few (like Mike,…& of course Ashraf!) who consistently try to be of assistance to others, & after a few unnecessary jabs at you too, it made me angry that good people quit commenting there & are pushed away by the haters & ignorant ranters (you were missed after that fiasco, but later saw you came back).
So I'm encouraged to see you participate here—almost all members are appreciative & supportive, & we actually have a good amount of fun & humor too!
BTW: I should have never assumed that you were male on GOTD, but if I did, I will (hopefully) remember that from now on!

@yourpalal - I agree with you 100% – I also got turned off by all the negativity on the GOTD site – in fact, these days it has become so ridiculous, that some people actually believe that Ashraf and I are the same person – well, if they only knew how unrealistic that is – as I am female and Ashraf is male -LOL!
…and you're right – the constant bashing – very sad indeed.
And that is why I chose to be an active member of this fine DotTech family.
Well, that's my story, and I'm stickin' with it – so Ciao for now,
Inas – AKA Happy Person

Hey all!
Ain't we havin' fun here!!
The comments have been great & positive.
BTW: Seems jivadas hasn't posted here since their original criticism of our site--maybe it has dawned on them to JOIN with us here 1st, then see how we get along.
That's what was meant by getting to know us: if you start out the 1st day at a job criticizing, where do you go from there?
