   Eddie: I’d prefer you to take my name off the list of acknowledge-ees. I disapprove of the site, I told you so in email, and I did nothing to help you set it up. I don’t wish to seem ungracious, and in every other respect I have the highest regard for your contributions on matters Oracle and non-Oracle… but leaving me in a list of acknowledgements implies a degree of support or approval I did not and cannot give.

   Howard,
   I meant to acknowledge the people who, at least, took the time to reply to my request for feedback (even with disapproval or criticism), and I still want to thank you for that.

   Anyway, I have removed your name from the above list as per your request.

   Well, I’ve made a contribution to the Q&A.
   There’s something to Howard’s argument that the reduced visibility of the comments in comparison to the main post is not ideal.
   I believe that in the blogger template, it is possible to show comments without the need to click on a link. For the blog format, it makes sense to limit comments to the article pages, but if WordPress has the same facility, it may be worth giving it a try (at least on the monthly archive page).

   Thanks Gary for your contribution. I did make a slight change to the format of the title to make it look like a question.

   As far as comments are concerned, I’m not sure displaying comments with an article in a multi-article web page is a good thing. Take AskTom for example, comments are listed underneath the question on one page dedicated for that question.

   I agree that keeping up with new comments is important, that’s why a notification system is currently in place on OraQA:

   1- The author of the question/answer will be notified by e-mail whenever a new comment is posted to his/her post.

   2- Any registered user who is interested in a particular post can subscribe to it and be notified of followup comments via e-mail, with or without posting any comments

   3- Any registered user who is interested in a particular post can subscribe to it and be notified of followup comments via a comment specific RSS feed, with or without posting any comments

   I will always be looking for ways to make things better and easier. For example, I will be adding a link on the main page to a global comment RSS feed so users can subscribe to any new comment on any post.

   Thanks again Gary.
