Thumbs down there. This is supposed to be fun, not competitive.

While you are "musing in your philosophical peregrinations" (exerpt
from "Jonathon Livingstone Budgerigar") ... and considering how you
*might* be able to implement Comments, see if there is an option to
allow the contributor to not only enable or disable comments on their
own entry, but to moderate their comments as well. No automatic
posting, but automated email notification to the contributor of
comments pending approval. That way the burden would be lifted from
the Admin's shoulders. Naturally you (the Admins) would have right of
veto (powers of god) on the system to remove anything offensive that
was allowed to slip through ...
