finstergrrrlhey, everybody. i've turned off all comments for the moment. (that should hide old comments as well as disabling new ones.) that's because of this:

according to the comments here, pingback applies to all comments, including to locked entries, and including screened comments. most of you can imagine reasons why i wouldn't want everyone in the world to be able to see comments to my entries. if any of you have privacy concerns, you might want to turn off comments for a while in addition to turning off pingback. even if you have pingback turned off, someone else who has it turned on can inadvertently show content from your locked entries.
i'd love to hear from you on this, so if you have a comment, just email it to me at finstergrrrl AT livejournal DOT com instead of commenting. i think it's pretty effed up. a lot of people are already bailing for dreamwidth.
