                     About the lack of comments around here

I've generally been relunctant to add comments to my weblog/journal even
though several people have been hounding me to do so [6]. And now there's a
problem of spam hitting comment systems on blogs (see sidebar). Mark Pilgrim
[7] explains the problem [8] into much detail, and gives good reasons why
he's not adding comments any time soon. 

Which is pretty much how I'm feeling about it myself.
