Comment breakthrough

So Blogger has now got this thing where if you comment on someone's blog, you can tick a box to have follow-up comments emailed to you.

Who asked for this? Some other bloggationary systems have something similar, and it's a PITA. Comments are not threaded, so you don't get replies to your comment, which is what you need, you get all the comments posted by every lame-ass TD&H who happens along the Interlectric HighRoad.

They should stop futzing with Blogger now. It's fine. Leave it be. It doesn't need to get better.
