Good to be here and comments on
Saturday, January 21, 2006 at 8:21AM As Tom wrote, I'm delighted to be on board with you as the new webmaster. Please don't hesitate to contact me with comments about or problems with the website at webmaster@thomaspmbarnett.com
Without further ado, let me announce that we've turned comments back on. They've been off for over a year. We're going to try them again for a number of reasons.
One reason is that Tom has made a (what I think is good) decision to end the newsletter. We are hoping to replace some of the value of the newsletter with comments.
Another reason we're turning comments back on is because so many of you have a lot to offer. Please do contribute your pertinent comments and links. There will be spam and impertinence, but I'll zap those (and as quickly as I can, too). Not sure yet what the final configuration will be. I've got all the safeties on for now (comment moderation, etc.). We'll release this baby into the wild and tweak it on the fly.
It should go without saying that you are free to disagree with Tom and one another. Please comment and argue civilly. Thank you.

welcome Sean, comments are on, the newsletter off. Good news.
Hopefully, the comments will allow more intimate discussion of the issues among a wider scope of participants than was possible previously with the Newsletter. It's courageous as there are other management problems that arise, but also as study after study have shown, will do more to get the word out about PNM and BFA than many other things you have done.
P.S., Welcome Sean.
Thanks to one and all for bringing the comments back. Here's to a new era on the blog!
Welcome Sean
You and Tom are brave to turn on comments with all the spammers on the Net.
Yet, I thank you as I often have questions. Good luck with the new configuration.

Welcome Sean. Looking forward to the comments and debate here.
Cheers Sean!
I second your guys' bravery for turning on the comments. Are we going to get trackbacks too or no?
Also, do you have any plans for updating the layout and navigation of the site?
I also look forward to discussions in the comments. I like the immediacy of this option, allowing some real interactive spontaneity of thought.
Good luck to Sean and Tom leading the blog in 2006!
I am still in the dark on trackbacks, but am willing to have them if people like them.
thank you one and all for the kind words. so far so good on the comments.
i lean toward turning trackbacks on, but want to do a little more thinking about it first.
