Rattner v. E*Trade?
Coincidence? (Probably, but great timing nonetheless!)
If you're an E*TRADE customer who lives in California, Florida,
Maryland, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, or
Washington, you may be eligible for a class action settlement regarding the undisclosed recording of phone calls without your consent. The deadline to file your claim form is Sepember [sic] 25, 2009. [Settlement site].

I wouldn't to just autorefresh (like Drudge). Hmmm. Maybe as an option....
Yes that's extremely annoying.
We need some kind of moderation. This is our first cut. I'm open to suggestions.
There's probably a good chance that each post from a paricular anon will originate from the same IP
When content flies over people's head in this blog, you usually get replies that are 100% political or are full of conspiracy theories. The question is whether this blog considers that type of responses as good or not.
All I know is that when many responses like that appear on highly technical issues, people on the know just don't bother commenting further and go elsewhere.
You could always just make a captcha that flies over the idiots heads. It's already pretty challenging for those of us that still have to google VWAP once a week to kind of understand what a post is getting at.

Autorefresh - if you (as user) want the page to auto-refresh, any decent browser will have a feature or a plugin (e.g., 'ReloadEvery' for Firefox, and the builtin plugin for Konqueror) will auto-refresh.
I wonder though, if that might affect site stats - some stat packages will net out page refreshes.
And although I have not yet had my user details finalised, I would advocate membership requirement to post comments.
I use IntenseDebate comments on my blog - members only but with near-automatic grant of membership unless the user's IP is on a list from ProjectHoneyPot.
One last gripe - the HTML stripping for your comment machine blows goat balls. It strips carriage returns and you just get a sucky single-para (unless you bother to go double-CRLF every para)

Test - maybe it needs to be written in markup...
Let's see... is there a CRLF above this sentence?

Hmm ok on the CRs. Let's see... how's... THAT?

Addendum... unless you write the comment in HTML... seriously.

It would be nice to be able to rate individual comments with stars etc, and perhaps have a option to show only comments with x stars or more. Moderation points like this have been used at Slashdot for eternity and it works fairly well.
Marla, tough...because we all say junk time to time....This is what happens when the community becomes a city.
All of us need to think before we write and talk.
good luck
