I just today noticed a new interesting thing while doing a Google search.
Under each result there is a cloud looking thing and if you hover it it
says "Comment". So I tried it.
Would someone else try this Google search
"arsenic and old lace" youtube
Just like that with the quotes and all. On the first few hits you should
see a result
_YouTube - Arsenic And Old Lace 1/15 (1944)_

Would you see if you can see a comment I left there?
I'm curious how this works.
To make this thread on-topic, I wonder if there would be any advantage is
allowing comments, separate from Talk Page comments, on our articles?
I notice that many casual readers will leave "comments" which you can
generally spot as they are not-tagged-with-a-sig and generally left at the top
of the Talk page without regard for headers and so on.
I just wonder if a more free-form "comment" section would encourage more
casual readers to become casual writers.

P.S. The only reason I picked this particular movie was because I was
casually looking for more movies to add to my

Although obviously people are *watching* my nightly selections, they don't
seem to be adding any comments ;)
Maybe I'm perfect after all!
