Housekeeping: Turning off the Comments

I have an unfortunate bit of news to pass on to readers here.  I will be turning the comments off at least temporarily. I don’t know why, but the comments have degraded substantially here in recent weeks. Combined with the fact that I have become much busier in the last few years I just don’t have the time to monitor the website as much as I could before.  So I’ve decided to test out the site without comments on.

For those of you who have been positive contributors over the years I am sincerely thankful. This site won’t be the same without those contributions which is a loss for those of us who really try to use the site for what I always intended – education and productive discourse.

I’ll leave the forum open and probably do a Q&A more regularly, but for now I don’t know of any other solution. I also always respond to emails within a few days so please feel free to reach out if you have a question. I am usually on Twitter at least once a day using the handle @cullenroche.

I know this sucks, but it needs to be done. I am either becoming dumber (which is attracting more criticism) or I am simply too wimpy to monitor the website as it needs to be. Either way, I am sorry it’s come to this and I hope that I can continue to educate and help out through the articles, forum, Q&A’s and email.
