Blogging the Snobs

If you find and visit this guy's blog via a Google search, you won't be able to leave a comment. At least, not until you've proven your worth by browsing his site.

Seems a little extreme to me, but perhaps he's got more traffic than he can handle, a "problem" with which I'm unacquainted.

The real fly in his ointment appears to be that people are leaving comments on old entries. There again, due to the, um, timeless nature of my postings, that's just not a problem for me.

Seriously, though...I've never even thought about the need to disable or limit comments on older entries.
