And yup, DHH makes for one very interesting ghost.</p><p>As for closing old comment threads, I think it sucks BIG time, showing a silly bias for recency and needlessly marginalizing old posts, but I don't think the email form is a good solution either. My proposed solution would be to keep comment threads forever *and* put a recent-comments module somewhere (thereby allowing people to notice these comments).</p>elzrThu, 22 Jun 2006 20:37:03 -0000
