Because of a massive issue with Disqus, including a complete outage during the iPad event and a wild comment duplication error that left us with over 300,000 dupes, we’ve decided to give Facebook comments a try. I realize some may complain (I am dubious at best) but thems the breaks.

Incidentally, the plugin sometimes fails in Chrome 10. Refreshing the page should fix things. If this commenting system is overly onerous we ill abandon it for Disqus again.

As always, we remain your humble bloggers and friends, so don’t hold this against us. Unless it’s a puppy. Then by all means hold it against us.
