Steve is at times a good writer, but why do all the approved comments have to be banal and superfluous? (I’m using the words banal and superfluous to get approved.)
@Steve SailerSorry about sounding obtuse, but Ron's putting all the new features in the commenting system, while I'm just concentrating on generating material to inspire comments. And I'm too old to quickly grasp new software systems. So, your comments, pro or con, on the new commenting feature are much appreciated by both me and Ron.Replies: @reiner Tor
@Steve SailerThere's an error in my previous comment. "now" should have read "not," so not getting comments on older posts was the problem. Curiously, the comments are indeed showing up now in posts old and new, so the erroneous comment turned out to be prophetic, and happily so.
@tomvThanks. What are the implications?Replies: @Steve Sailer, @tomv

@Steve SailerI would still love if I could get emails informing me of new comments without having to open (or worse, download) an app. As I promised I will get around to using these apps, but it might take some time. (Like, forever, or maybe a few months will suffice. I cannot know it. I'd need to put in some effort, and this could happen any time now, or maybe never.)
There is a great new feature: commenting history. I love it. I'd love it even more if didn't start from oldest to newest, but rather the other way around.

It’s gone up like Obamacare numbers.
So, the numbers are about what you’d expect?
Commenting history is stupid. The info is not worth the ugliness and clutter on the page (especially on mobile).

Comments are now showing up in older (pre-switch?) posts, Steve.
