Commenting

[pmb]

Livejournal allows people to comment on the rss feeds people create, but the bummer is that those comments go into the bit bucket after a month or two. For example, pmb_ideas has comments from some people on it, and since I haven't been following the comments on the feed, just the comments posted at the original site, I have no idea how many comments I have lost and missed.

This totally bums me out. Could the person who made the feed (possibly zudini) please make it uncommentable so that peoples' valuable contributions don't get deleted at the whim of livejournal's feed system?

no one owns lj feeds... not even the person who created it. no one has access to that stuff, nor can they change it to be uncommentable. i'm not sure any rss feeds can be made uncommentable... :/

That's true.

LiveJournal's wack-ass syndication implementation drives me crazy sometimes. As with so many things they've done, they were one of the first on board, back in the day, but then they moved on and the feature stagnated and now other folks have caught up with and surpassed them. *cough*OpenID consumer support*cough*

The ephemeral nature of comments on syndicated accounts can make for good people-watching, though.

I did cause the syndication to be created, but I don't see a way to disable commenting on it.
