Who knows why the time stamp might be useful? Just because we can't see it now... I've spent some time recently reading old blog posts. I find it the date/time stamp really useful to gauge the intensity of the comments, their flow, etc. If you're watching comments closely in real time, you know how interesting it is when they come fast and furious, as in a conversation. It's great to be able to recreate that sense when reading old material, and the time/date stamp is a vital piece of information. Maybe it's just me, but I find posts or comments without a timestamp to be disembodied, floating, less authoritative. As I read these comments I keep thinking, “No-one will ever need more than 64K…”

If so how'd you code it to work? On the timeless comments and posts, it might just be me but I like to see when something happend, even if it is a simple time since, it gives it more emphasis I think.

I often come across a blog entry via a search engine that has lots of comments, going back months or years. If I see comments saying a piece of software is buggy, say, it's important to be able to see that the person wrote that 2 years ago and it probably doesn't reflect the current version of the software.
