Top 5 Comments of the Week

We're both flattered an saddened by our witty betters at Gawker -- flattered that they stole our idea to spotlight comments (not that we're especially innovative in doing so, but still); a little saddened that theirs is already so much better in its execution. Depressing, yet we soldier on, because many of your thoughts deserve to be read a second time.

Quick note: we'd also like to remind you guys that while you're welcome to leave meta-commentary in the comments sections, an easier way to get an answer about issues relating to SFist itself and related policy is to just email one of the editors or writers (contact info for specific individuals can be found on the staff page).

Here's this week's Top 5:

1) Wow, a reader asked about gyms to go to, and you guys really responded. Tons of helpful suggestions from a score of readers; we'll certainly take this thread into consideration when it's time to re-up in January.

2) mariconsoy was both super-informative (this note is almost a PSA), insightful, and amusingly (and preemptively) bitchy in the "meter maids assaulted" thread. Well done, as always, mariconsoy.

3) We liked AJ's question because we know the answer: that famous picture of Daly can be found here, on the site of the fine, award-winning news photographer that took it, Jason Doiy. Check out the rest of his work while you're there as well.

4) We don't usually like to do more than one "read the whole damned thread," as a comment of the week pick, but the commentary accompanying Matt's piece on the Tenderloin Housing Clinic was extremely moving and informative.

5) We enjoyed MalcoveMagnesia's perspective on Apple and its products, especially the part where he reminds us that "customers should be reasonable."
