This is a big deal for marketing the language. Thanks for doing

With respect to blog comments, this article talks about the
experiences of bloggers that turned comments off and then back on:

"Once comments returned, many people told him they just stopped
dropping by the blog, because it didn’t feel hospitable. It felt
cold, sterile, and uninviting. Since comments have been back,
traffic is growing again, and is up 20% over the same period last
year. Michael says comments have created some vitality on the
blog and it feels like somebody is home."
And with any luck, bikeshedding discussions will move to the
blog, leaving General for its intended purpose.
