Okay, I get it. Most of you aren’t crazy about the new comments system. I told you it would be a work in progress.

I’ve asked Fred at LivePodium to put together an update of what he has already changed and what he plans to change, per your suggestions. I have a contract with him to give the system a four-month run, so I guess the options for some of you are to keep complaining on every post for the next 15 weeks, or be more helpful and work with him to get your suggestions implemented.

At the end of the four months, I’ll post a poll. If you want to go back to the old system, we will. But until then, try to utilize some of the live functions, like chat and IM. I’ll host a couple of chats in the coming weeks, too.

I had the opportunity to try something new, and make a little money in the process. All the content you’ve ever seen on this site has been free. I blog because I enjoy it, certainly not because it’s making me rich. But I do own the site. Contrary to some of the email I’ve received, you really don’t have the standing to demand I provide free content to you on your terms.

Again, helpful email and suggestions are welcome. I’m just a little taken aback at some of the invective.
