Why No Comments?

I’ve been asked by a plethora of people (if you consider one to be a plethora...a plethorum, perhaps?) why I don’t open this blog up to comments. The simple answer is that, as part of the Central Web site, it’s impractical to have comments. Here’s why...

As anyone who has blogged knows, comments can be used in all sorts of ways. While the views on this blog are strictly my own, and not in any manner “official” views of the Central family, it still represents Central. Hence, in order to have comments here, I would need to go to full moderation to make sure neither inappropriate comments nor flame wars wound up here. Frankly, I don’t have the time to moderate this thing. So, for now, it will remain commentless.

However, if you’d like to make comments (or if you’re out there at all), drop me a line via the contact form, or the contact button at the bottom of the page and let me know. If I get enough requests (more than one), I’ll investigate a possible compromise solution. Before doing that work, I want to be sure it will be useful.

This is a test comment. There's a reason for it.
