Comments No Longer Require Approval
Comments on posts no longer require approval before appearing. I'm hoping this increases the number of comments. I can still delete comments if necessary, but I've only rejected a few comments ever, so I hope we continue that good record. You miss some of the value of this site if you never read or leave comments. There's no way to include them in the newsletter or feed, however, so you'll have to visit the original post to leave/read comments. I do encourage everyone to comment as anything other than "Anonymous." Everyone can use the Name/URL option (even without a URL). Even if you use an alias we'll enjoy recognizing regular commenters.

We've started to get comment spam, so I'm going to have to tighten up posting requirements. Now you need to have a Google account or OpenID to post. I may try turning that off but require commenters to fill out a captcha.
Also, there's now the ability to subscribe to comments. Unfortunately, it doesn't tell you what post the comments relate to, limiting the feature's usefulness.
