Wordpress requires a single database user that has CRUD access to the entire thing, so I'm not sure how you could benefit by separating admins and commenters. Could you give an example? I agree with your comment, though. Wordpress has poor

They're using JavaScript onmouseover to show spoilers which can be accomplished in straight CSS2. I assume that's for IE compatibility. They're also still using <br/> tags in post comments, but I assume that's because it's easier to

They plugged SafeShepherd which appears to be a monthly-fee service. What happens if I pay $14/mo or $65/yr, get my records scrubbed, and downgrade to the free plan? Do those "difficult records" pop up again? I went to sign up with Facebook

"That's just fratboy behavior" and "It goes the other way" aren't excuses. Certainly not when women are severely underrepresented in the tech industry.

Do they actually have support for Premier? I would pay $5/mo to know they won't randomly disable my account (or if they do, I can talk to someone).

I agree with this. I believe it's why .io still has 3-letter domains available, because it costs about $96/yr to register one.

What I'm saying is even if the content is legit, you don't interrupt someone during their presentation. User smacktoward says this rather well further down in this submission's comments:[0] > "Was Katz right?" is not the most important

I don't think Katz was merely asking questions. From the article: > Speaker: Talk talk talk talk. Talk talk talk? Demo demo demo. > Katz: Wait, why are you doing it that way? You should be doing it this way. [...] Katz plugged
