Why are comments removed ?

Er, it does have a comment box but no-one ever seems to comment,
wouldn't a snappy comeback posted after the article do the job?

Or would that get deleted if it was derogatory.

It shouldn't, anyone worth their salt and using viral internet style
advertising should expect a bit of contorversy. Indeed it's not unknown in
the kite game to post something totally outrageously negative about ones
own products and watch the come back. Reverse advertorial promoting
positive response..

Better that than nothing.

Without any comments it looks like no-one reads the stuff. (I don't
anyway, in fact this is an exact example, had MB not ranted I'd never have
clicked myself.. now I guess I must rush straight out and buy a pair of hot
sox..

I have to say I agree with Grumpfs - I shouldn't have deleted the 'Shameless' comment - and I have now reinstated it. Ross was entitled to his opinion and I was wrong to delete it. Sorry Russ!

Edited to change spelling of Ross to Russ - thanks turnturtle!

Damn Skippy i dont!

A more difficult suggestion this time (as the previous)should be a tiny bit of work) would be for the first comment posted to an article to form a new forum thread, in a dedicated section, with a link to the original article, rather than as now the comments really being rather neglected.

I agree that this would be a much better arrangement
because then comments would come to the attention of forum
users as well as those who happen to be looking at a
specific report
