"PREMISE: Our main issue is that we're seriously
considering moving away from Blogspot and transitioning our blog to
an independent URL (e.g. http://www.linuxandunixmenagerie.com
and/or http://linuxandunixmenagerie.net or http://linuxandunix.net
which we've already snatched up). That being said, we want you to
know that we're not considering this arbitrarily or on pure whimsy
;) The following is a listing of some of our reasons for
considering this move.
"1. COMMENTS AND DISCUSSION: This has been a big issue over the
year and half that we've been operating and, although the point has
become belaboured, we do understand. As things are today, we only
accept comments via email for 2 reasons:
"a. To avoid comment spamming: This was a problem when we first
started out because too many unmoderated comments about porno,
violence, drugs, alcohol and everything else reprehensible to
Google ended up on posts about "How to change directories" and the
situation was unacceptable. Of course, Google would notice and we'd
have to worry about getting that NC-17 intro page they put up on
some blogs."
