Doesn't look as though I'll be making the move. Cannot tell if I set up a "qwerty" over there years ago or not (keep getting an error re address/name but believe I set it up ... a looooooooooong time ago), so hope the new home is nice.

I read Wonkette and some other sites on Firefox and disabled Flash on FF for that reason. If I want to see (say) the kittens, I can always enable it. However, I believe Our Wonkette has another way of bringing up an ad in its own window. Altho it might be TPM.

Does this mean all of the pre-Disqus fever dreamed comments will vanish down the memory-hole?

Maybe Wonket can also buy blow-me.com from Congressman Skeevyduckpants with a sandwich (sexxytime euphemism, I guess) and keep them there forevermore.

So you should put a picture of a big magnet on it or something.

I finally get up to 101p, and now you pull this? If comments were allowed, you'd be hearing from my comment-lawyer!

Edit: Also too, now we get to the big question... Will DocZoom follow me on Disqus too? The citizens of the world are holding their collective breath..

WTF???

I try to comment and immediately get <em>"This comment has been deleted by the administrator."</em>

But what about my hard, earned p-ness?
