It might be better if TJC were to switch to a “web magazine” format like Salon.com rather than follow the personal blog format they have right now.

OH! Oops! Ok, yes, I know exactly what you mean…

I did manage to get HU comments delivered to my email account with a jury-rig setup involving FeedDemon and the Mozilla email client. Works great, but it isn’t one-click and I have to set it up a thread at a time. It would have been swell if TCJ.com had made it work without my hour of tinkering.

Caro, I should have been clearer — I was referring to a way to follow only comments on a particular post, not all comments posted to the site. But thank you for pointing that out. That seems to be the way I learn most things about that site: comments to posts criticizing it. :)

Hi Johanna — tcj.com does have a comments feed link up under RSS at the very bottom of the left sidebar. It’s broken in Chrome but seems to work fine in Firefox.

Hey, Johanna. Very nice post. I might point out that the Hooded Utilitarian is now on TCJ’s site, but in its own little bloggy neighborhood. If God took TCJ home today, I’m sure Noah would move HU to a new home.

That said, if one needs a roadmap to schadenfreud, you’ve shown the exact path by contrasting Groth’s site intro with the execution. Design defines content, after all.
