So! Disqus! Threat or Menace?

I’m getting a number of bad reports about Disqus from readers struggling to log in or having trouble commenting.  One Patheos writer reports her traffic dropped precipitously after they installed it and it looks to me like the number of comments here has dropped (though I couldn’t say if the readership has cuz I am a technoidiot who has never figured out how to make the web analytics software work and probably wouldn’t know what it means if I did.  Another writer is reporting troubles as well.

So I’m wondering if you could do me a favor.  If you are having trouble commenting here, could you drop me an email and let me know?  I will forward it to our webelves in the hope they can get you fixed up and comboxified so that you can continue the conversation. My email is chez.ami[at]frontier.com

Thanks!
