Isn’t it frustrating to want to write a comment and not be able to post it?

Flickr comments cliche hell

I wanted to comment and share a similar theme in a story I wrote in the past, but even though his post was a month ago I wasn’t allowed to comment on it. So I wondered how long my commenting period is and it was only 14 days! I guess I didn’t think about it in the past. I have since changed the commenting period to allow comments forever.

Part of what make blogs great is that you can comment on them. Has anyone wanted to comment on a post but been able to? Should I allow the ability to post comments permanently?

I sent the curator of the site an email and shared my link and that I wanted to comment. I have never done that before but I think anyone who read his story would also enjoy reading mine.  I doubt he will respond but you have to try.
