With 1361 quotes your "Best of" isn't very selective.
The sorting helps quite a bit.
It's not, but I find that many of the quotes lower down on the list are very good themselves. Being upvoted a lot is not just a function of being appealing to LW members, but also being posted at a time and place where many members will take notice, and I think some of these quotes were shortchanged in that regard.
When I just saw short segments of the sorted list, without karma scores, I was unable to guess whether the segment was from the top or the bottom of the list.
I had the same observation. I found myself opening up rather a lot of permalinks in tabs so that I could vote a whole lot up and more than a few down a well.
We probably also lost a lot of value when it comes to quotes in replies. This one by logi is at 29 but probably is not scraped.
