Announcements: Back On The Strain Gang

Yes, yes — I know. Most of you are unhappy with the new threaded commenting that invaded Deadspin and the other Gawker sites yesterday afternoon with its tricky Facebook-style interactivity and other splashy thing-a-ma-jigs that stand to make your lives more complicated and decidedly less fun. But! I've been summoned by an internal memo which states that I should announce some of the latest tinkering with the system that will supposedly make things more enjoyable. I think? Here's what's fixed as of now: • Comments will be displayed in chronological order. • Replies will be collapsed, but remain in chronological order. Does that help? Yes? No? Eat me? If you'd like to sound off, you're encouraged to do so. Politely, if possible.
