Tweaked comment policy

Along the navband on the left hand side is a link to the comment policy. The most significant change since its first release is that I introduced the two-week rule. As a general rule, comments posted more than two weeks after the article publication are eligible for summary deletion. It’s great that you’re all interested n stuff, but having to deal with comments on articles I wrote six months ago is just too much work, especially when the topic drifts far away from the original subject.

Curiously, one person claimed that I closed comments because I was losing an argument.  If you look at the timestamps, I closed comments after four months of inactivity. Everybody had two months to say their piece.

Author

Raymond has been involved in the evolution of Windows for more than 30 years. In 2003, he began a Web site known as The Old New Thing which has grown in popularity far beyond his wildest imagination, a development which still gives him the heebie-jeebies. The Web site spawned a book, coincidentally also titled The Old New Thing (Addison Wesley 2007). He occasionally appears on the Windows Dev Docs Twitter account to tell stories which convey no useful information.
