Comments re-enabled

So, I haven’t been accepting comments on my posts for a while now. From a practical standpoint, it’s because I hate spam, and spam was all I was getting. In a more philosophical vein, I liked Dave Winer’s stance on comments, and Joel Spolsky’s gloss of Dave Winer’s stand — if you want to comment, post a comment on your own blog.

But I’ve discovered Akismet, and I’ve also started getting some signs that a few people are reading my posts. So, comments are re-enabled, for now. I reserve the right to disable them again. I’ll see how it goes.

Ummm… anyone care to comment? :-p
