Restarting this blog; comments policy
I was going to let this blog sit idle until I could get around to dressing up its look and feel more. But I don’t want to wait for that, nor take the trouble to do it quickly, so what you see is what you get. Please excuse any dust or exposed girders.
For now, we’ll go with a very simple policy on comments.
1. I reserve the right to delete any comment at any time for any reason, without notice. The same goes for closing off comments, in a thread or overall in the blog.
2. If I EDIT your comment and still leave it up over your name, I will post a notice saying I’ve done so. I feel strongly about this; the blog editor’s refusal to adopt the same policy is the principal reason I no longer blog at Computerworld, despite the high regard in which I hold the print publication and almost everybody on the staff. (I continue to be very happy as a columnist there.)
3. The usual no-nos are forbidden here — plagiarism, spam, death threats, etc.
