This is per a discussion going on with Will Baude -
Is there any way to tie comments to a particular day and not just to a particular post?
Does that make sense what I said?
I don't think so. MT ties comments directly to posts.

LT Smash posts an "open thread" for people to comment on whatever. You could do something like that. Close comments on the actual posts, then have an "open" one.
But that's stupid. Keep comments open, regardless of what Will says.
Posted by: Jennifer at October 23, 2003 12:35 AMBut the comments here are listed in chronological order under the heading Recent Comments. Why can't that sidebar be saved as per diem threads? There's gotta be a way!!

(Whistles innocently.)
Posted by: Pixy Misa at October 23, 2003 06:18 AMYeah, the Dem blog does the open thread thing also. I'm not such a fan of it. Because then you have a Forum instead of a blog. And I don't have thousands of readers.
What would be the advantages of a forum, Pixy?
Posted by: Daniel at October 23, 2003 12:37 PMUm, it's like, um, different.
I'm setting up a Munuviana forum (quiet, Susie!) and when it's up and running you can have a look. I'll be able to give you a little Nanopundit corner, and Cherry can have a Rambling corner, and so on.
Posted by: Pixy Misa at October 23, 2003 12:43 PMWhy would you want to turn off your comments? Was it something I said?
Posted by: Jennifer at October 23, 2003 02:47 PMGuess so. :-(
