You aren't trying to 'copyright' the opinions expressed in the comments, right? <br /><br />I fell out with Bob long ago and came to the conclusion that while at times appearing congenial and rational he often wasn't. I simply stopped reading him for the most part. I understand why the management would want him gone though but I fear that the remedy may be more detrimental than the problem. By making it tough for new folk to comment it makes it less likely they will and thus limits the potential growth of new good commenters. On the other hand plowing through piles of nasty drivel also will discourage decent discussion. Trade offs, trade offs.Ashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16688752302081088907noreply@blogger.com
