MinnesotaSmith manages to keep it within three Haloscans:
BTW, Vox, when the heck are you going to get a modern discussion forum software like EZBoard for your site? It’s way overdue; you’ve certainly got the traffic/interest level to support it.
I will make the switch as soon as someone else arranges to do so. If you have an idea, talk to Digital Cowboy – his email should be at voxday.net – and talk with him about incorporating the blog with the website there.
This is my hobby, not my job, and I’m not interested in doing anything that looks remotely like work. I understand that Blogger and Haloscan are suboptimal in the eyes of many, but they work for me with a minimum of effort.
Also, the ephemeral nature of the comments tends to prevent a few from too-easily dominating them as happens in many forums. Forums implies the need for forum cops, and while I’m sure we could arrange for that, it’s just one more thing that I know I’m not going to do myself.
