Kill your antiquated article structure not your comments

David Higgerson published an interesting meditation on comments under articles yesterday [http://davidhiggerson.wordpress.com/2011/08/02/here-come-the-angry-brigade-are-comments-on-stories-more-hassle-than-they-are-worth/] . “Are comments under articles worth doing?” he asks, and flirts with the answer “no”, without coming to a definitive conclusion. The post, and the comments underneath (ironically) are well worth reading.
