Lomblog - Now With Comments!

LF here - just back from a taping of VH-1's I Love 8 AM, March 5, 1987. Oh, the memories! But that's neither here nor there. I just wanted to tell everyone who visits the site - yes, all 3 of you, plus the guy that surfed in looking for elisha cuthbert fakes - about an exciting new way to communicate with me. When Blogger upgraded its software on Sunday, they added a function to enable reader comments at the end of posts. Never one to miss an opportunity for dialogue, I've decided to take advantage of this breathtaking technological leap. As the site continues to grow, I fully expect a regular community of Lomblog message board devotees to emerge with it. But as in any fledgling democracy, there must be some rules:

1 No porno spam (Unless it's something artistic)

2 No self-promotion (ie. "Read my hilarious, insightful writing here at http://lomblog.blogspot.com")

3 No "drive-by" posts - that is off-topic rants that are designed to provoke rather than enlighten with inflammatory comments like "THE HOLOCAUST DIDN'T HAPPEN!" or "MARTHA STEWART IS GUILTY!" I don't want this site to devolve into constant flame war, like my old cyber hang-out, I Can't Believe How Fat She's Gotten Since The Kid. As George W. Bush once said - seriously - ""We've had enough fighting; it's time to unite."

4 No comments between posters or directed at the site adminstrator (me) that would be more appropriate for a private e-mail. Especially if it's along the lines of, "I really enjoy your hilarious, insightful writing at http://lomblog.blogspot.com. Would you like to see my pics?"

5 No gratuitious gossip about major celebrities, unless it relates to a personal experience you'd like to share, as in "I just had the most amazing three-way with Cameron Diaz and Colin Powell."

6 No violations of the Geneva convention.

And now......I turn the floor over to you!
