Comments & Feedback

Seeing that you wanted an upgrade from the comment that Tyler made above, you are truly a gentlemen to congratulate me on getting mine.
Thanks for being such a good sport and a friend.

My 2-1/2 year old daughter just loves listening to the CD of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and watching the Yellow Submarine movie (she sleeps with the VHS casette holder). I guess kids know what's really for real -- and I've always enjoyed your own commentary very much, Sarge! Thank you!

— Rusty007

Sgt. Pepper is an awesome person and an invaluable asset to the Newsvine community. I honestly cannot think of a single time he's posted something that I've disagreed with (a true rarity on this site). Plus, he knows that I'm a huge Flight of the Conchords fan! What's not to like?

I believe the safe answer to the question about page appearances is 'sooner than you think'.

It'll be good when it happens, I'm sure - tech will take the time to make everything a smooth upgrade.

For months - years even - I've been arguing that anonymous and pseudonymous comments have no place on the Internet. I'm in no doubt that if we forced everyone who wanted to respond to a blog post or online article to use their real name, the Internet would be transformed.
