   Yeah, you probably should. They’re not abused too much.

   Yes. I only get a few each week, and cherish every one of them.

   Maybe I’ll turn them on when I might actually want comments. This has been more like a journal/diary than my other blog(s), so I’m a little nervous about opening it up. (Related to my earlier form and function entry, I guess.)

   Of course, I’d have to actually fix how the comments display. Ack.

   I get (mildly) frustrated when you write something here that I’d like to respond to but that doesn’t warrant a full blog entry on my own site, so chalk me up as another Yes to comments.

   Couldn’t you switch off the comment function for some entries?

   Are you getting spammed?

   Yes comments are great. I have a hard time considering weblogs with no comments actually weblogs.

   Opinion: Yes! Comments are love! They’re like hugs made of letters.

   Realistically: I suppose it depends on whether you’re the type to open things up for discussion or anecdotal comment. Flexibility is always a good thing to me.
