Finally, after more than a year of getting most of my news from Hot Air, I can tell you all what a fine job you’re doing. Thanks.

Hey everyone I been reading Hotair for nearly a year. Great site and I’m glad to be here.
GREENTURTLE on June 25, 2007 at 10:33 AM
Allah, is it true that opening comment registration is part of a nefarious plot to sell email addy’s to Nigerians to raise money for your I-Phone?
Nichevo on June 25, 2007 at 10:34 AM
Thank you Michelle…. Ive been waiting for this for a good while, last time I missed the sign up by only an hour… Now I have two great blogs I can comment on… the one and your other one….

Kaptain Amerika on June 25, 2007 at 10:46 AM
Showtime!
This is a test of the emergency comment system. Had this been a real comment I would have made a
of myself already. Why are you still reading…move along now. Nothing to see here.

Yay! Thanks!
Heralder on June 25, 2007 at 10:51 AM
Welcome to the new people that don’t suck. So Allah, did you decide that you need more members to achieve your dream of a 1000-comment thread?
ReubenJCogburn on June 25, 2007 at 10:52 AM
howdy to all!
libertytexan on June 25, 2007 at 10:54 AM
Well, that seems like enough people. I think it’s time for the initiation ceremony. Allah, did you bring the fire?

Thank you so much. There are very few blogs that I truly enjoy and Hot Air is at the top of the list.

RobertCSampson on June 25, 2007 at 11:08 AM
Oh God! Allah Opened the floodgates! Ruuuuuun!
-pjcomix, MM had a registration that you missed, you’ll just have to keep an eye out for the next one.
Bad Candy on June 25, 2007 at 11:09 AM
I completly agree with all posters, this is long overdue for me, i’ve been wanting to post for the longest time and just missed open reg. everytime.
first stop everyday, who am i kidding i just keep a hotair browser open all day.. great job hotair staff!!
gberez on June 25, 2007 at 11:09 AM
Sweet. I’ve been lurking here for about the past six months when I discovered HotAir, nice to finally be able to comment. Great bunch of people here. ^_^

moc23 on June 25, 2007 at 11:19 AM
Good decision. Thanks MM and Hotair…
Nelsa on June 25, 2007 at 11:19 AM
Actually, no, I live in scandinavia and it’s a name I’ve been using on other boards. It’s the tree of life in the nordic myths.
I’m going to go look Tales of Symphonia up now. :-)
yggdrasil on June 25, 2007 at 11:20 AM
Welcome all! Let the discourse continue!
Tennman on June 25, 2007 at 11:24 AM
I was trying to be good (actually working) on Friday and missed the MM registration too. Dagnabit!
Musing: If you are registered on HA, LGF, and MM, does that make you a Hot Scaly M&M?
RushBaby on June 25, 2007 at 11:27 AM
Thanks you guys, I have been waiting for this for more than a year!
Christine on June 25, 2007 at 11:32 AM
have reported mm and hotair story hijackers to digg, and the moderators at digg do remove and ban such bad behavior. the liberals with multiple sockpuppets have less than 4k id’s total remaining at digg.
so sign up, check digg.com/tos and then report violations to abuse@digg.com such as the “truthers”, the ron paul spammers, the rawstory sockpuppets, the lewrockwell hijackers…,
it is extremely gratifying after sending an email with quote by a mm story hijacker with quote of original mm to see one of your bad “friend”s disappear.
doing my part to clean up the internet.
mathews on June 25, 2007 at 11:32 AM
Allah, thanks for opening the comments. This is a “Christmas” in late June gift.

Yay, it finally works. I thought I was a bad girl. And yes, I feel like a hot, scaly M&M. lol
Thanks, Michelle, Allah, Bryan, et al. Been lurking seems like forever. It’s great to be part of this.

AP, the beneficient and merciful, we give thanks for your wise and kind “opening the books”. Now with renewed vigor; may the verbal butt-whippin’s continue…..
FRED!!! (Michelle, VP?, AP Sec Def?)
Alamo on June 25, 2007 at 11:46 AM
A hearty welcome to all the new folks! Believe I understand your glee….my sig on emails for a few weeks read “finally happened to catch LGF with open registration! If LGF menas nothing to you, we are on entirely different orbits and you will never understand my joy at this!” It’s nice to be able to comment….even if I don’t very often.
welcome once again!

First Michelle’s site and now Hot Air. Two of my favorite sites and now I can comment on both. Score!

Howdy, all… glad to join the party. Thanks for opening the door.
BTW, throw me down for a “FRED!” as well…

Well how bout that!!! Finally in…I just about fell out of my chair when I glanced over and saw the comment open for registration heading..then sat paralyzed and speechless for the first time in life!! Too funny…thanks HotAir.

Thanks for opening registration, been wanting an account here for some time. :)

Ahhh!! I see we have our first kiss *ss. Just kidding! Welcome aboard.
pullingmyhairout on June 25, 2007 at 12:09 PM
Wow, it’s great to see so many new names! I wonder if the Staff has a running total of how many HotHeads and AirHeads we have here. We need a seniority list! Nah, just kiddin’ :-)
We’re glad to have all these Newbies, let’s hear from ya!
Tony737 on June 25, 2007 at 12:09 PM
Thank You!! Thank You!! Thank You!!!

lobosan5 on June 25, 2007 at 12:12 PM
It’s like Christmas in June here! Ahhh, I remember the glee I felt when I first registered…
Welcome to the jungle!
Be nice to hear from some new voices (and the “old” ones too ;-))

Welcome all.

Yes it will. I simply have to approve your first comment. You commented eight times before I had a chance. Try to relax.

Just remember that whenever AP posts a Paris Hilton thread it’s just so he can boot all the new users who post to it.
pedestrian on June 25, 2007 at 12:43 PM
As others have commented, I will mostly still be lurking but it is nice to know that I can now add to discussions if I wish. Thanks Ms. M., Allah and staff. This is an exceptional site.

Just wanted to make sure I was still in good grace here…Missed out on MM’s site when I had to go out of town…Was stuck in the sticks and couldn’t check her site..But I think the new look on MM’s site is great…Of course I do miss her picture on the home page! Will us long time loyal folks get another chance, Michelle?
Ben Here on June 25, 2007 at 12:54 PM

otcconan on June 25, 2007 at 12:59 PM
Actually, I’ve been here for quite some time.
I as actually thinking about getting the iPhone myself, until I found out I had to sell my soul to ATT.
Since that is not going to happen with the sloppy customer service that they have, I thought it would be interesting hearing Allahpundit’s reviews of the iPhone (as it would end the “must have iPhone” posts).
Darnell Clayton on June 25, 2007 at 1:00 PM
