		<description>Paul: Then explain to me why other Sun bloggers do not make use of that contrivance.  Roch Kubatko, Jay Hancock, and Sam Sessa do not make use of this crutch.  To explain her use of this crutch as a way to make it &quot;easier for readers&quot; is just plan BS.  If you believe that, I have a bridge in Brooklyn I am looking to unload.  

epiph: Ahh, the Obama Lover strikes!  ;-)  I have no issue with replying to comments at all, as I have professed many times before on this very forum my like for this kind of exchange.  I just do not care for replying to a comment inline to the comment itself.  Large seems to think of comments as email as opposed to the comment thread.  I suppose it is something to expect from someone who has recently began blogging or discovered USENET or other similar forums, but it still does not change my opinion of it.  Why not make use of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.google.com/search?q=threaded+comments&amp;ie=utf-8&amp;oe=utf-8&amp;aq=t&amp;rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&amp;client=firefox-a&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;threaded/nested comments&lt;/a&gt;, then, if that is an easier format?</description>

		<description>While I basically agree with you that having to click to read the rest of an entry is annoying, I don&#039;t get why the author commenting on comments is annoying. Didn&#039;t you just do it above? Mrs. Large&#039;s method of doing it within the comment seems a clearer and more direct method than yours, in fact. In fact, this aspect of her blog is one of my favorite parts of it.

That all being said, for me, it&#039;s all about the blog&#039;s content for me, not how it&#039;s set up. I&#039;ve never used an aggregator (tried it once, didn&#039;t quite get it). Dining @ Large is one of the best blogs in Baltimore because of its content, even if she is a bit annoying sometimes with her formatting.</description>

		<description>I have to disagree. I think Mrs. Large has done a pretty good job blogging. I enjoy her blog. Her posting replying inline with the comment is bothersome but unless you thread comments it is one solution to responding to a specific comment rather than just adding another comment to the list. 

And I don&#039;t necessarily blame her for the &#039;trick&#039; to increase page views. She&#039;s a the mercy of the Sun&#039;s tech people and powers that be that control the blogging interface and RSS feeds.</description>

		<description>R.O.B.: I might add the daily/weekly FAIL to my blog.  I just need to get some good photos of fail.  

David: The trick I refer to was the use of the More tag.  I regret my error in the comment, but it is there for posterity.  My greater issue is with her incredibly rookie response.  She wants to &quot;save&quot; a few mouseclicks.  Ugh, is it really that hard to scroll a couple of more ticks with ones scrollwheel?</description>

		<description>For the record, non-full feeds are hardly a &quot;MovableType trick.&quot;  In both MT 3.x and MT 4.x, the default atom feed templates are absolutely full (including both the entry body and extended body text).</description>
