that the course was really enjoyable. why is that not nice to know?<p>edit: here&#x27;s an analogy - say the article was about a famous restaurant, and someone chimed in to say &quot;i ate there when i was visiting hong kong, and it was one of the best meals i&#x27;ve ever had&quot;. now we already know that it&#x27;s a good restaurant; that&#x27;s what the article was all about after all. nevertheless, i like that sort of comment; it adds a human touch to the story because (rightly or wrongly) i perceive a fellow commenter as less remote than a newspaper food writer, and therefore their opinion has a certain anecdotal quality to it that the article lacks.
