A FEW PEOPLE HAVE EMAILED to wonder why comments aren’t visible on every post. A couple of Macintosh users have even hinted darkly at conspiracies.

I just don’t turn them on unless I think there’s likely to be a good discussion. Under my new (and much more expensive than Blogspot) setup, I’ve got more or less a dedicated server, but the site is still using a lot of bandwidth and I don’t want to add gratuitously to the server load. Also, I don’t think I could keep track of all the commentage if comments were enabled on everything.
