I've done some more fine tuning of the comment policy. If you look at the blogs here, you'll find that there are 2 policies at work for displaying posts:
Display all posts from the last N days
Display the last N posts
I use the first policy for blogs - like mine - that get posted to on a regular, daily basis. I use the second policy for blogs that don't see the same level of activity. As it happens, that policy affects comments. For my blog, a comment on a post from October is not really relevant - that post has long since scrolled off the page and into the archives, and I just have comments disabled for it. For the blogs with less frequent posts, it makes sense for comments to be enabled for any post that is on the main page - which is how it now works. In general, comments are disabled for posts that have walked off the current main page.
