1) Posting a link would increase the chances of simultaneously written comments getting posted one after another, whereas ordinarily there is such an interval between our discoveries of the page that any dialogue going on will be protracted enough to generally assure that we can see the comments of anyone who saw it before us. Posting a link and saying "But nobody go here yet, we need to have someone 'claim' the page so we don't ALL answer it." would be kind of self-defeating.</blockquote>
<div><br>I don't think that posting a link here is the way to go. Like I have mentioned monitoring tools like Google Alert or Technorati were best suited. <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">

2) It may be off-topic for the main blog post. I think people could get a bit ticked off with us if they found that all the OpenID spam taking place on their blogs was actually the result of a deliberate effort - one that had an opportunity to be more considerate ;)</blockquote>
<div><br>It won't be off-topic if people answered questions. <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><br>
3) If the existing supporters are too quick to leap to OpenID's defense, it may give the impression that we're the *only* ones who care; it might create the appearance of a propaganda campaign that isn't convincing any of the "regular" people.</blockquote>
<div><br>Once again, comments have to be on topic. If commenters disclose that they are employees of OPs no false impression will arise.<br><br>But yes, I see your concerns. Maybe the idea needs some fine-tuning.<br></div>
