Works too. Works too well in fact. At least half the blogs I read use pop-up windows for their comments, giving me the Hobson&#8217;s Choice of comments and pop-up ads, or no ads and no comments either. Pop-up windows are a lousy format for comments anyway, slow to load and annoying (occasionally impossible) to resize. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.littlegreenfootballs.com\/weblog\/weblog.php\">Charles Johnson&#8217;s blog<\/a> is the model for how comments should be handled, and it&#8217;s probably no coincidence that he gathers more of them than anyone else. So could you all just put your comments on the perma-link page so I can surf in peace? <a href=\"http:\/\/www.janegalt.net\/\">Jane<\/a>? <a href=\"http:\/\/bias.blogfodder.net\/\">Susanna<\/a>? <a href=\"http:\/\/users2.ev1.net\/~file13\/blog\/\">Laurence<\/a>?
