Comments on: Face facts: Macs get malware, people look at porn http://stilgherrian.com/human-nature/face_facts/ All publication is a political act. All communication is propaganda. All art is pornography. All business is personal. All hail Eris. Vive les poissons rouges sauvages!

And certainly the world can live without the YouTube standard of debate! @Alex Willemyns: Fair point.

Only allowing contact via email means internet people have to put a lot of effort in to remain anonymous. This filters out the 'n00b' YouTube-type commenters, and means all the comments I receive are actually worth reading. Having said that, I happily comment on other blog/tumblelogs (but never anonymously).
