What's the point? Why do you waste the bandwidth?

Yeah, more porn John. More porn.

John, I would recommend permalinking comments with Movable Type. Then in the future, you won't have to tell users to scroll through comments to reach a specific comment. Permalinked comments would be especially valuable to a weblog that gets as many comments as WebWord does.

Joshua, is that something I can simply turn on? I did a quick check of the documentation but did not see it.

No, you have to code the comment permalinks using Movable Type tags. Unfortunately, the MT manual doesn't document it well. Here's the code I use to permalink comments:

<$MTCommentAuthorLink spam_protect="1"$> on <a href="<$MTEntryLink$>#<$MTCommentID pad="1"$>"><$MTCommentDate format="%b %e, %Y"$></a>

Just format the date to your preference and you're set!

Do you think Jakob trawls the net for comments about himself?

If I were he, I would.
