Lots of Karma mentions too, since the topic is about Ogg-aware players. Of course, the topic is posted when the UK has gone to bed. (Again).

It is times like this, when I have mod points and there is someone talking shit about the Empeg, that I am tempted to mod him into obscurity. But alas, that would be wrong.

But if someone is posting false information, isn't that the whole point of having a moderated system? So the moderators can remove those talking trash? Just food for thought.

Well, he is complaining about the price. It is not flamebait or a troll, it is just an opinion I disagree with. Someone answered him, which is the correct response. Using the moderation as a way to silence people is not but, alas, is used too often in that capacity on Slashdot. The system works decently well though I think, and I try and do my part with only minor personal bias. The posts by Empeg team members have gotten a lot of positive mods from me for instance.
