I’m not thrilled about the new site, but that might just be the getting-used-to-it factor. I *hate* that there are no updates or e-mail notifications about new comments, but I’m not pissed off enough yet about that to take my football and stomp off into the night.

Some of the more annoying trolls seem to have poof disappeared and if that’s because of a new filtering system, then the site has already earned a kudo or three on technicalities.
