I turned off blog comments a little over two months ago [and explained my reasons why] at the time. Virtually everybody I personally know who reads this blog disagrees with that decision. Most of them never commented, but that’s not the point. They feel there is an injustice in the fact they can’t unless they blog about it themselves.

My life has been a little easier without having to log in daily and moderate the spam out of the system, but overall I think it’s harming the blog not to let people give some feedback directly. I’d love it if they took the time to write up an article on their own blog and link back, but that’s just not happening. It’s time for a re-group.

From this article forward, comments are back, and will never close on any article.

They will be moderated, and I’m going to be inclined to block one-liners or unrelated comments, whether they be spam or not. Of course, even if your comment doesn’t get published I’ll still read it, so feel free to be abusive if you wish. :-)

[UPDATE]: it would appear the comments stuff got broke whilst having a rest. No more than one comment gets attached to each post for some reason. I’ll look into it ASAP. So, for now, first mover wins. :-)
