I would also love to see open comments in Projects. As a compromise, what someone suggested about the posted having the ability to turn on or off open comments for their posts would be awesome.

I have one account for all Jewish information.

I don't have any interest in the "is this fake or not" debate that will be ensuing, but I wanted to comment on another aspect of the question and answers that I found troubling:
