I just turned off comments on Are you reading this?, posted on February 16. The post more than achieved its modest ends, with 40+ comments (including my occasional response), and the situation’s changed enough since then to turn off comments.
I cheerfully returned to posting about stuff on Sunday instead of metablogging. Unfortunately, there’s some indication that the last “significant” post on Sunday hasn’t made it to some aggregators.
No, I’m not asking for comments again this time. I’ll monitor the situation–or, rather, I really won’t, since there’s work, C&I, a book, and life to deal with. I do begin to see why blogs get abandoned so much…
