Either use it ...

Or lose it. You'll see a change in the commenting system here over the next few days. Haloscan has been sold to Echo and I'll have to upgrade to it or lose close to 47,000 comments that have been archived. It kills me to have to pay for this shit but I can't export them into the Blogger commenting system (I think it's by design but that's just my paranoia coming out) and I really don't want to lose them, nor to I want to enable word verification and moderation (it's a pain in the ass for both me and commenters but the Blogger system is notoriously spam-vulnerable). It's a shakedown, but it's worth it to keep the comments from over the last 5 1/2 years.
