Comments

Blogs everywhere seem to be banning, or limiting comments. Even this site, a beacon of free speech to millions around the world, has had to introduce a comments policy. The saddest however was over on Harry's place, where Harry has had to limit some messages' comments because they kept going over 100, and got unwieldly. This reminds me of a comment Tim from Bloggerheads made at that parliamentary blog-fest in the summer, after some goon had said blogging was going to change the world and democracy with interaction between voters etc etc, which is that it ain't, because as soon as you get more than about 200 readers a day the comments system breaks down.
