Comment Guidelines

Comments on this site are encouraged and highly appreciated. However, three things should be kept in mind when commenting:

1. Please use real or nicknames.

   “Keyword names” trying to please search engines will not point to a website for a long time, and their comments might even be removed. Also, while links to organizations are usually respected, references to “questionable” and commercial websites should be used with care—I am a nofollow opponent, but this forces me to take even more care of “votes” for sites linked from my weblog.

2. Politely stay on-topic.

   This should be a matter of course: Be polite, and focus on the matter of interest. Comments that are rude or off-topic will be removed. However, while everyone’s encouraged to contribute, trivial posts may of course attract trivial comments.

3. The right to modify and remove comments is explicitly reserved.

   No worries: Apart from the situations above, this basically only applies when language annotations or website URIs need to be corrected (nobody enjoys broken links), or when eventually, an entire post is deleted.

Please note that I can’t send messages about comments to be modified or removed as I intentionally avoid to ask for email addresses—it makes commenting easier and safer. But while talking about cases where I might edit comments: Feel free to drop me a line at any time in case you want your comments to be changed or removed.
