		<description>@DRB: I thought about that and came to the conclusion to use both. Comments here for the direct stuff concerning the posting (and all the praise... ;-) ). where it is visible for the &quot;Oh, sorry, I am just looking...&quot; people.  And it&#039;s easy to drop off a comment or a trackback. 

The forum for the in depth stuff. And that will be a small crowd I think. But with threads and search tools in the forum the discussion can go way deeper than in the comments here. And perhaps it becomes a good source of information. 

I put the bar high for getting in with the &quot;I agree&quot; screen, the captcha and the mail confirmation to keep the spammers out. So only really interested people will come in. 

I take some pride in the subscriber numbers, just now they are about 100 below the &quot;Pod feed Top 100&quot; list - and creeping slowly up. But I don&#039;t &quot;need&quot; high forum traffic for my ego. 

For me it&#039;s a tool for planning the shows with a chance of getting input before I make a blunder ;-) , keeping track of ideas and skimming your brains for ideas. You wouldn&#039;t gues how much traffic (and subcribers? :-) ) a posting like the &quot;Compile 2.5.2&quot; generates.</description>

		<description>From an organizational point of view I would not allow comments here (at the episode posting) but rather have a link to a forum thread; one for each episode and/or posting. 

The advantage is that all comments/conversations are in one location and can easily be searched using a search tool as well.

The disadvantage is that (presumably) one would need an account to comment whereas now anyone can comment. Along the same lines I would imagine fewer people would comment feeling it too much trouble to head over to the forums (despite a link in each episode to the relevant forum thread.

So this is not a recommendation but rather a few things to consider.

...oh yeah and congratulations : )</description>
