I ditched my comments a while ago, and when it became apparent it wasn’t a server fluke I had a few people ask me why I got rid of them. When I asked one friend (who I might mention never, ever left a comment himself) why it was so all-fired important to him he replied “I don’t know. I just liked to know I could if I wanted to.”
And I can respect that. I had big sads over the closing of a store in my neighborhood for the same reason, a store I had never entered once, ever. It was always comforting to walk by and know I could go in if I wanted to. It’s the principle, really.
But I’m not bringing back the comments. Instead I’ve installed a kind of running commentary. Who am I kidding...it’s a guest book. But hopefully it will fulfill the ‘some things just need to be there on principle’ principle.
Sorry.
Now go’head, talk amongst yourselves.
