I'm not asking you to do that. Sorry, should have clarified...) (If anyone from that august organ is listening, that is - and at least one seems to be. I'm not asking you to do that.

If I turned off Javascript, I didn't have to see any comments. Now I do, and there seems to be no way to get rid of them. Can I have that piece of functionality back, please?

I see someone has already called for a return to the old system (whichever one they meant). :) You can't please all the people etc. Cheers.

There are still some glitches (as you've noted), but we're working on getting those resolved soon. Caspar - I'm glad you're benefitting from our trailblazing approach to serverside Pluck. The problem with no-one else (at scale) having done it quite like this before is that there's been quite a steep learning curve (for developers and readers alike).

The project I work on has been considering using the same system they use for various UGC bits (blogs, comments, forums etc). Seeing that the Guardian can handle it being hosted server side is a big bonus, the client side system was quite unappealing. I'm pleased they've done this.
