happy new year

i generally try to keep the administrivia posts to a minimum here, i don't think they're generally all that interesting, but in light of the new year and some reconsidering i've been doing i've decided to do something i previously said i wouldn't do...

i'm enabling comments on this blog (moderated, CAPTCHA'd comments, but comments all the same)... i had to manually enable them on a number of posts (due to some setting changes i made a while ago) so the feed is probably going to show some old posts - oops, sorry about that, i'm not sure why blogger re-inserts things into the feed when i don't make changes to the content of the post but oh well...

i still think usenet is a superior medium for intelligent discourse, but it's clear to me that people want to be able to leave a comment right there on the page and as i use other people's blogs i'm starting to see why...

enjoy the new feedback mechanism...
