I never had a comments routine on my blog before I switched over to Movable Type a couple of weeks ago. Even though I thought they were kind of cool, and part of me envied those who had them, I always resisted because I didn't want to become a comments moderator on top of the blog, which took up enough time just as it was. Plus, I'd seen the ugly, snarled mess that the comments sections of some of the bigger blogs could become sometimes and I wasn't sure I had the stomach for it.
Maybe this is just asking for it, or speaking too soon, but I've got to mention how impressed I am with how polite and good-natured these comments discussions have been so far. Thanks, folks. You inspire a certain, seldom-occasioned, re-evaluation of one's faith in humanity.

Posted by: chach at July 3, 2003 05:40 AMYou've got a good bunch of readers (or at least commenters) here. I check the site more often now that you've got Comments. Thanks for going with it!

Posted by: Ethan at July 3, 2003 12:59 PMHeh heh. Thanks, Ethan. How's the Ham?
Posted by: Dr. Frank at July 3, 2003 02:41 PMI randomly clicked on the comments section this time (I normally don't) and happenned to see my long-time lost pop-punk fiend of a friend Chach posting. What's up, Chach? According to TMLE and I, you rule. Regardless, Frank, I appreciate your blog, it keeps me entertained at work and is more interesting to read than anything I have found on my countless hours sitting at my desk, "working". Much love.
Posted by: thomas at July 3, 2003 03:12 PMConsidering the political nature of this blog, I am also surprised at the "civility" of the comments.
Posted by: Bill at July 3, 2003 03:13 PMThe Ham is dynamite, Frank, thanks. Missed my self-imposed deadline, but still chugging along. I am almost finished with my Eight Little Tangos EP, though. (I wish!)
More soon . . .
