ten billion butterfly sneezes

I recently, and silently, changed tbbs-land’s comment policy. I used to halt comments after 30 days, in an effort to trim spam.

In view of Akismet’s having done a stand up job in dispatching spammers to the sludge pit, I decided on a whim to enable comments, trackbacks, etc, on the whole magilla.

I subscribe to a few comment feeds, and always thought that older posts tend to attract more of the “drive by” type of comments which add little value. Sometimes that’s true, but when it’s not, the benefits of allowing comments outweigh the drudgery of cleaning out the spam trap.

And tonight, on this nearly year-old post, a comment from a nice lady from or near Tescott KS. This post was also cross-posted to the Uplifter Weblog, so I feel doubly blessed.

OK, I’m convinced; comments, like this site, are open to decent folks. For the duration. For as long as I continue to want and need to type into the internet.
