Comments are allowed, you know

Sometimes I want to remind readers that, yes, we do allow commenting on posts here at BBA. We don't charge a fee or anything, and I don't care what Jib says about that. Comment away!

But then I look at sites like Ann Althouse and Rachel Lucas, and I see the dozens - sometimes hundreds - of comments they get, and I think: I'm not reading all of those. That'd be too much like work.
