Quick note on comment "policy"
I tend to allow comments on post for a limited amount of time and then close them. When a post gets a bit out of hand (in my estimation), I may close comments out. This doesn't mean you can't still comment... just have to send me an email with the comment (actually, since I've started comment moderation, I have much more control over comments... so you don't have to email me). If I deem the comment substantive and interesting, I'll post it. I'll even post critical comments, etc. (ones that I might not agree with). I certainly won't stand for certain types of behavior such as spamming, personal attacks, etc.
Since I've gotten a bit of email sent to me about closing the MN summit posts' comments so quickly, I'll open them up for a few days. Would love to hear your feedback.
In case you didn't catch on, this is my blog and I'll do what I want. Deal.
