Oh thanks! I had one heck of a difficult time trying to find the author and title of 'the glass bead game' by Herman Hesse. It's pretty hard to find with simple keyword based search.

Though short comments seemed to score a bit too highly IMHO. It took a while to find a query that found the long rambly comment I needed.



We spent quite a bit of time trying to make length normalization better, but there's still a lot of room for improvement. The default behavior was super biased towards longer rambly comments and we may have over-corrected. I appreciate the note.
