Yesterday I posted what seemed then to be a rational comment policy, and on re-reading it, it seems equally rational today. I hope people consider posting one of their own, and since I link to and quote another blogger, we could start a process of refinement where each of us helps each other draft their policy. To me that would be the true blogger way to solve the problem, something like a bucket brigade. Blogging is inherently DIY and decentralized. I think that's why we like cats so much. ";->"

"RSS was born in 1997 out of the confluence of Dave Winer's 'Really Simple Syndication' technology, used to push out blog updates, and Netscape's 'Rich Site Summary', which allowed users to create custom Netscape home pages with regularly updated data flows." - Tim O'Reilly.
