		<description>It's pretty easy with wordpress to moderate all comments with links in them.  I just make sure no of those that I don't want get through. It also acts as a deterrent if the post doesn't get posted instantly (or at all).</description>

		<description>Yeah, I just set up a blog for a company and they didn't want comments on it. I was like, what's the point of having a blog then.  They just looked at me, eyes all glazed over.  :???:</description>

		<description>I agree, blogs should have comments, otherwise it's just a website.  Nothing wrong with websites without comments, but you loose out on the immediacy of comment making.  Oh yeah, and spam.</description>

		<description>personally, i think kumiko's doing this as a publicity stunt . . . much like her bold agloco statements . . the "going against the grain" way . . . . reminds me of this quote from that ol' wise movie "Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift" . . . "a nail that sticks out gets hammered!"</description>
