Why don't you guys start a thread in the fourms for comments, rather than that funky comment section that you use now. I like the idea of using allowing people to comment on news items, but it's awfully hard to read them with that set up. Plus the fourms seem like a logical place to put them.

People tend to start threads concerning the more important news items anyway

That's another good reason. Keep all the threads together.

IMnsHO, the quality of the discussions in the Comments section is pure crap. people use it just as an outlet for anger. they see "Dell said blah blah blah" and then 200 people post "Dell is **** . he sucks blah blah blah."
They give no thought, and don't care. Here in the fora is much better.
I'm perfectly happy with them being seperate.

Couldn't agree more – very difficult to find any wheat amongst all the chaff in that venue.

Maybe if the were an anonymous post-it note type thing then there would be less of that. A good example is the recent letter you put up about RealBasic.

I belive the MacSpeedZone has their articles and message board linked in such a way that you don't even know they are different. VisorCentral just starts a new thread in the forum and links to it.

I would just like to see a more intelligent conversation rather than the stupid, useless (might I say, bandwidth wasting) stuff that is there now. Thought this might encourage it.
