I don't like the solution for comments. I think there's real value in having a discussion that is directed at and moderated by the author. For example, if an author writes a post that people on the forums from which he aggregates comments generally disagree with, I don't want to see one comment after another denouncing him. I want to see comments from people who at least respect him enough to write a comment on his blog, directed at him. Would a wordpress blog really be harder to maintain then this? If so, I think a better solution would be a mailto link, so that the email contains some basic text like this: > My comment on blog.com/article3: > ... Then maybe you could automate adding the email as a comment to the article in some way.
