Based on the general commentary, I've restored the Blogger standard comments -- which, oddly enough, are very much like the old Haloscan comments. Hopefully someday I'll be able to restore the old discussions, which I have saved as a database for now.
Thank you for your patience during this annoying hassle imposed upon us without our consent.
I like this new comment box, with its ability to preview what I've said.
ReplyDeleteI don't know about your comment spam rate, but TigerHawk (http://tigerhawk.blogspot.com/) uses this method, and he also uses CAPTCHA to screen out the bot chaff. I've never found the extra step to comment to be a hindrance.
