Ha! I am the first to make a comment on the mighty Samizdata.net! History is made!

Sorry Horus, but someone beat you to it by a few minutes by commenting on A 'Civil Interventionism' Directory

It's a really good idea.
Comments are to Blogs what letters to the editor are to newspapers. For a blog not to have a comments section is like a newspaper printing those letters and pasting them in the back alley next to the garbage can.
Instant publishing requires instant feedback. This brings Samizdata into the Blogcentury.. hehe

What Suman said. And remember you can always delete the unflattering ones. ;)

What they all said, re: comments. They're what makes blogging into a cross of the art of conversation and the art of ... uh... web publishing?
Why, when our YACCS comments work (every third Tuesday in March), it's such an exciting free-for-all indeed.

Welcome to the world of comments. I enjoy reading the snide remarks posted on my blogs, some are rather witty. I think once you have it, you wont go back.

How come comments are disabled on the most recent few articles, then?

Perhaps the thought of Andrew being able to answer back on some posts has scared them off.
