Engadget gets comments

As you might have noticed we've opened up the site to reader comments, something we'd been meaning to do for a long time. For right now we're requiring a valid email for confirmation of comments (you'll always be able to anonymously send us a note, question, or comment via our Contact Form)
until we can find something a little less cumbersome. We've seen way too many weblogs get hit by spam lately and so we wanted to have some sort of system for dealing with comments spam that didn't require us going through and manually deleting them.

That said, please keep the discussions civil, polite, and on-topic. Any comment that is off-topic, rude, offensive, or that could be construed as spam will most certainly be deleted. We reserve the right to delete any comment for any reason.

Also, if you want to contact anyone here at Engadget, don't write it in the comments. Send your message to us using the Contact Form instead. We're far more likely to see it and you're far more likely to get a response.

Lastly, keep things in perspective! Remember that at the end of the day it's just gadgets and we'll all be arguing about entirely new stuff six months from now.
