Commenting on Daily Kos

RonK, Seattle's first comment on Daily Kos was on October 17, 2002, responding to Markos's blog post from the previous day, [N.Korea has nukes. Where's the saber-rattling? http://www.dailykos.net/archives/000390.html] His was the ninth of fourteen comments to that post.

List of Comment Links

When RonK started commenting at Daily Kos, the blog was using Movable Type software. Markos was the sole blogger, and comment threads popped up in a separate window. The Movable Type site has subsequently been archived at DailyKos.net, and all links are to that archive.

In the archive, direct links can only be made to individual front-page posts, and to the comment threads of those posts. Only the entire thread can be linked to; there is no way to link to individual posts. So, once you bring up a comment thread in your browser, use your browser's search function to find "RonK". This will find all of RonK, Seattle's comments plus some direct references to those comments or questions to RonK. If you only want to find RonK's comments, then search on "by RonK".

In the list of comments below, the date given is the date the particular front-page post was made; it is possible that the actual comment was made the next day.

The person writing the original front page post is assumed to be Markos; if there was a guest blogger that day—Billmon, Steve Soto, or Steve Gilliard—that blogger will be named. Any open threads that Billmon may have created will be credited to him on this page; if uncredited, open threads are also assumed to be set up by Markos.

Note that comments attached to RonK's own front-page posts are not listed on this page. Links to those comments will be found on the RonK Seattle Posts page.
