The Terri Schiavo line was pretty funny though. On a serious note, I can appreciate that X – Cal is even thinking about how to retain newcomers. The site itself needs to focus on this issue. I know a lot is being done behind the scenes to implement the upcoming mobile environment, but I'm not sure if that alone will be enough to automatically fix the high turnover rate we see in new members. Asking folks to sweet-talk when they drop explanations on votes might not be the answer, but we all need to be trying to figure out what is.
