Trivial comments are gone, substantial ones remain.[/quote]
Quite a lot of what drew me to BoingBoing was reading the comments below each article; I took the greatest pleasure in the one-off smart remarks that people would make, and firing off bon mots of my own. I would jump in where and when I felt like it; but now, in order to surf different topics’ comments, I have to cross-check a comment thread with the article on the original page, going back and forth until I understand what’s the (initial) topic of conversation.
I’m not asking for comments to be moved directly back to articles, but one thing I’d like to request for consideration is that a ‘Quick Comment’ box be placed directly below the article, where people can speak their mind before the top notes of the emotions generated from reading the article have yet to wear off.
