I know, it's annoying isn't it?

Man, I really miss reading and commenting at my favorite blogs. I'm excited to check out what's going on with my friends as I've been the perpetually absent blogger of late.

You will probably notice that you currently have no ability to comment on this blog. If I'd checked my email a couple of weeks ago I would have known why this is happening. Today I checked it. Lo and behold, there was an email from my webserver telling me that due to some "danger" that my mt-comments "modules" posed to the "well-being of the entire server," my comments feature had to be disabled. You can imagine how upset I was! (Though at the same time mildly relieved that I'd figured out what the problem with my comments was without having to delve into some way-too-complex-for-my-lazy-brain diagnosis of my site's mysterious ailment.) I joked that it wasn't the first time I'd been deemed a danger to the pack, but really it's no laughing matter. How can I not have comments? Bloggers are nothing without their comments! (Some may disagree, but I feel like I'm missing a leg, and I'm not the only one who's voiced that type of sentiment when being unable to maintain open comments.) I know some people deliberately eliminate comments from their blogs, but those people are usually really popular, with an endless stream of readers who stop in and say "OMG You're SO cool!" or "fuck you! You suck!" BBD doesn't get quite that much action, so I value the comments of people who read the bullshit I prattle on about, even if they do sometimes end up being shitstiks and I have to do away with them.

So that's the difficulty, folks. I emailed my server's tech support imploring them to find a way to restore my comments, or else I will have to find a server who can fulfill my needs as a blogger to receive constant validation and reinforcement, hopefully adoration and the ever present possibility of a delightfully venemous exchange every now and again. Via my comments feature. Except I was really nice about it. Because regardless of how annoyed I really am, my webserver has some of the most courteous and helpful tech support staff I've ever encountered. They replied to my email by telling me that my request to have my comment "modules" restored (can you tell what a retard I am?) was forwarded to the proper authority within their company and I would soon receive a response. I will wait patiently because they've never not gotten back to me. But I WANT MY GEDDEMN CEMMENTS RESTORED IMMEDEETLY!!! I am but a little baby without a bottle. Help.

So if you have anything you'd like to tell me - anything at all - feel free to send a little email. Or give me a call. Or blog about it. Or write it all down and save it to ramble on to me about another day when comments return to BBD. ;o) Until then, I'll close my eyes and listen to the crickets chirp.

Love,
Moi
