RSS on comments. I've added RSS feeds to the comment pages. →[More:]I'm not 100% sure what it's going to do to the server & I don't really know how RSS works, so consider it on Beta. You can now "subscribe" to any post you want to keep an eye on. Click the "Comment Feed" link to the right, or use your browsers subscribe facility. Good Luck.

Okay I added this thread just to try, and now I want it off. Argh.

But I am not ungrateful for when I do want to use it. Thanks!

Most RSS readers have an unsubscribe feature, typewriter.

I know. I figured it out...but it took me a few minutes. I'm slow at the internets.

I've never really used this RSS thing - I'm too tied up in the "site" mentality and am terrified that RSS will lose the feel of things or some crap like that. Probably for the same reason I don't "get" twitter.

I wouldn't call myself a Luddite, but I'm with dg - I prefer going directly to the site.
