I actually rather miss the commenting on Fabien's site. IIRC, he initially kept the comments underneath the older articles, but now those are gone too. On his site at least, the comments were frequently quite insightful or at least asking interesting questions. Yes, there's also spam and trolling in comments, but eliminating them entirely feels like a waste and cuts off an important way of interacting with the readers. At least personally, I'm far more likely to ask a question or to point out a mistake in a comment than I am to send off an e-mail.
