half my content to disappear on account of a policy change or bankruptcy that

I've been toying with the idea of hacking together a system that allows
replying/commenting via email (effectively auto generating a mailing-list for
every post or something to that effect) -- and allowing the comment interface
to effectively become a limited webmail gateway to that list.

Depends on the website/publishing platform. Disqus's Wordpress plugin actually
syncs all of the comments back to the site's WP database. So if they disable
Disqus at a later date, all the comments are still there.

I have a FB account, but never comment with it.

I don't want my every interaction on the web connected.

I am getting tired of the social web.

I think for an article or blog post, yea Facebook isn't that appropriate but
most other places I find it useful for the pure fact that I can't really be
bothered to make an account for every site I visit.

I have never used the Facebook Comment piece of a site for one reason: I don't
want all the people reading THAT site to have a link right to my Facebook
page. Under normal circumstances, the chances of some random stranger getting
to me Facebook page are pretty slim. But if I comment on some article with
Facebook, my real name is right there with a link to my page. The last thing I
need it for some nut job to take issue with something I said and follow that
link.
