I shouldn't have used the words "don't want them" (especially capitalized, lol, we definitely want conversation and opinion about our service and our publications). The true sentiment I was trying to emote was "we are not concerned with where the comments take root because we are not trying to build a community at our blog, our community is at Shyfr and the comments are everywhere..." But all of that seemed too wordy after a weekend of near silence. lol. Thanks for the update. We'll stay in touch. :) @Tony… yeah, the Irony is funny.

Irrespective of where you'd *like* the comments to go, I think you'll agree that *not* having them available on your own blog is a bit ... ironic. :) Keep up the otherwise good work and let us know how it turns out. Cheers tony. @Matt — thanks for stopping by.

It was humbling and appreciated. Just one minor thing to take note of... you mention, of the Shyftr Blog, "yes, comments are disabled"... The truth is they really just don't exist there. We built that blog engine from scratch rather quickly and, opposite to many of this past weekends voices, we DON'T want the conversation on our blog. lol. We want it at Shyftr, Twitter, FriendFeed, in your (and others) blogs, and around the web wherever it can find soil to take root! I hope that all the focus and energy of the weekend will not train itself of our decision to forego the development of commenting on our own blog. (People might begin to formulate misconceptions if they assume we assertively "disabled" the commenting of an out of the box solution or something. I just want to clear the air on that very minor detail and reiterate that we did not do that.) It's been an exciting and informative weekend. I look forward to more conversation between all of us! Thanks again! Matt Shaulis Tony,
