·	It drives me MAD when I go to a blog and there is that 'comments closed' wording at the end.. .don't know why but I feel as if, no matter HOW old the article is, the owner of the content is saying "all that could possibly be said was said, so whatever you have to add just isn't important enough to matter". It takes NO skin off people's noses to keep comments open, maybe once in a blue moon go back through from post 1-50 and reply... but if you don't then just don't... but I think regardless you should leave comments open, because isn't the whole point to encourage interaction?
