Hey bartender, I'll take one of your old fashioned, I think I need a drink right now after all the clean-up I did around here.
old fashionedI imagine comments were inadvertently temporarily disabled. Or I was too bad a boy and their absence is my penance. Or a million other things I could imagine and come to believe to be absolute objective reality, if not The Truth. (Given the way faith works, regardless whether or not one believes in faith (har har).)
Yes sir, you are right. I disabled them because I'm not convinced they add meaningful value. And so does the "New replies" system I took days to build. If someone reads what others write, they will surely come across a message mentioning them. And when that's the case, it becomes a nice surprise. It took me a while to realize that.
