Yeah, I realize that it makes following particular people easier, but I don't hink it makes much difference to stalkers. I mean if I wanted to get that behavior now I just subscribe to all comments and set up an email filter. That is just something of a hassle because I have take an extra step, but if I was stalking just one person and subscribed to many threads where they might comment that would be little effort.

But you wouldn't be able to find comments by someone in entries where you don't already know they comment, or be able to follow all their comments across the site.
