Dear Schlomo, I've met you just once. And I enjoyed it. Even more, I've enjoyed your videos over the years. If you stop comments, you stop people like me --- not really your friend, not your family, just a guy you've crossed paths with --- from communicating with you directly on your vlog/videoblog/blog with fucking video/whatever. Sure, sure, you might think, "when was the last time he (me) commented on a video." I know it's been awhile. But, hey, I've been busy, and I miss fireant like hell -- my old computer runs Miro for shit, and iTunes sucks . . . but I've been watching.
Ok, so don't do it!
