The disappearing comment
Recently someone posted a lengthy but well-reasoned negative comment about a restaurant. And then, to make sure other potential customers didn't miss it, he/she posted the same comment under a couple of other entries where the restaurant had been mentioned.
I "published" all three comments because I thought it was kind of a clever way to get his/her points across.
I guess he/she was pleased with his/her success, because the next thing I know, the comment had been posted under two more entries. At that point, it began to feel like spam. I killed out all but the first one.
The moral of this story, class?
Comments
Um, "don't tick off the Big Ace?"
Actually, how's this: "Too much of a good thing is still too much."
Or: "Don't be greedy; you're still a guest here."
Or: "D@Lers may not have much of a life outside this blog but we don't have time to read a post more than once."

I was told there would be no moral testing today. What's the original comment so that we know who has an ax to grind?
Well, if you'd read the blog more often you would have seen the three comments on the Most Recent Comments list. EL

Oh geez. I just got a blog name (thanks to RTSO). I still don't understand the social tags. And NOW I have to think of a moral? This is a tough crew.
