a wise person you are.  I've often thought that most of the pages 
generated by web frameworks (except for active pages) should be cached 
once rendered.

as to the comment system, I've been very disappointed by most blog 
comment capabilities because they actively hinder the ability for 
commenters to interact with each other.  what I would like to see is a 
short-life (i.e. three day) mailing list where the message history is 
stored as if it were blog comments.

The advantage of this technique is you can follow the comments without 
constantly checking in on the blog And you can actually build a 
community which interacts more easily than they do today.

Yes, you could build a web form techniques but the main advantage of Web 
forms over mailing lists is that they fill your mailbox with messages 
telling you that you have a message instead of delivering the message 
itself.

it would be interesting to see if one could build this capability 
into/out of mailman.  I really hate reinventing the wheel unless the 
wheel is square and I need a round one.  :-)
