in What’s the point of community on Fun with WordPress
Auttomatic is the business behind WordPress - I can't understand why one business is better than another. wordpress.com is a big business market place - Matt is the chief of both - I'm a webdesigner- and I'm a WP professional woman- I earn money with WP - not so much as Auttomatic but I do ;) -
in your logic no webdesigner is allowed to link back to its website - if he spent a WP Theme back to the WP community.
in your logic no link from wordpress.org to wordpress.com - and so on..
GPL doesn't mean : you are not allowed to earn money - but this days I have to realized : big business yes - small business no ...
my english isn't the best , and if I hear Matt I can't understand him very well - (british english is much better to understand :-))
so I have to wait for translation - thanks for the discussion

oh my dear Andrew
it sounds that I'm silly but I'm only confus this day because it is monday, since many years Murphey is the best guest at monday :(
... ok I try to write ... Hi best coder ... (thats better than 2time the false name )
ok you do not accept pings and trackbacks - so there is no chance to create a good network -
I have sent a ping not a trackback ;)
thanks for your answer Andrew ;)

Monika,
Trackbacks are a nice idea, but in practice I got so much spam and so many one line links that it wasn't worth it.
I am happy for you to add your link in any comments here, especially when you are promoting something I have done :-)

Actually, It's Andrew. And the reason is that I've turned off trackbacks because, in the whole, people don't see the value in them.

in Theme authors: give us choices on Fun with WordPress
short:no
this time wp 2.7 to design comments theme authors have less freedom than WP > 2.7
more options is less freedom for the theme author and less freedom for the user, because every option offers a way - most of the time 3,5,6,7,8 ways but not all ways to use this or that plugin this or that feature.
for customers I do like premium theme authors but not for *all * WP user.
I realise that german wp user prefer other things and features as blogger from usa - I don't know why but I see it.
I 'm afraid that the way your question is going we try to *paternalism* blogger -
simple as possible - not difficult and less options

I think I see what you are saying: that adding more options doesn't really provide more choice, just more ways of doing things within a more rigid structure?
I am slightly concerned with the way they have handled the comment changes in 2.7 because they are removing the choice for themers, but having decided to go with Disqus now it makes little difference to me.

I hate your formular - most of the time I lost my comment, because I have the false things in false order - most of the time I could use my automatic form of the browser - I hope I can remember all my words for the next try-maybe this kills spammer, maybe but sure it kills my time and my patenience ....

Monika, I have completely changed the comment system so this should not happen any more. This was almost certainly down to my anti-spam system which was cookie based and might not have played well with your browser.
Apologies.
Apologies.
For example, is it OK for a web designer to link back to their site, it should be, but then why not let a gambling website release a theme with links back to their website? is that still OK? How about adult sites? As long as they produced the theme, or paid for it to be produced by someone else, there isn't really a difference. But I would not like the second two.
