Revision 9/2/2012: I am going to start aggressively deleting comments that look like spam (retroactively, since this is mainly an issue for older posts). To avoid deletion, please say something that responds to the actual post in a non-trivial way rather than just picking up on keywords or making vague comments about the blog in general.

I intend to delete any comments that I consider offensive or inappropriate, but I may not have a chance to delete them immediately. At present, I do not intend to delete comments just because I think they are lousy comments. I'll let readers decide that for themselves. I reserve the right to start deleting comments more aggressively in the future if the comments section starts to seem like a useless, bloated mess, but we'll cross that bridge when and if we come to it. Statements by commenters are their own opinions, which I do not necessarily condone, nor do I make any representation regarding the veracity of anything contained in such statements.
