Just to be clear, I am in no way, shape, or form involved in making any decision on the reader comments issue for CB; I'm just writing about the issue from my perspective. It seems like that has been lost here (and in some other comments). I am an organizational outsider, offering an opinion about it. I have no institutional sway on what happens with the comments; and I'm not involved in that decision. I'm trying to represent the issue from the reader's perspective and argue for, in my opinion, the best environment for the reader. ... I provide the links for you to dig deeper, if you like, not as homework. Enjoy!
