Commenting on Daily Kos

Steve Soto's first comment on Daily Kos was on September 30, 2002, responding to Markos's diary on embattled New Jersey senator Robert Toricelli, Toricelli calling it quits? This was only 36 days before the general election, and Toricelli was a candidate for re-election. The comment thread link is here, and both of Steve's comments were signed "Steve Soto". Toricelli called it quits a few hours later.

List of Comment Links

When Steve Soto 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 The Movable Type site has subsequently been archived at DailyKos.net, and all links are to that archive.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 the search function to find "Steve Soto". This will find all of Steve's comments, even the typoed ones, plus some direct references to those comments or questions to Steve. If you use "Steve" as a search string, you'll also see comments by Steve Gilliard, as well as an occasional other Steve and general mentions of people named Steve.

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 or so.

The person writing the original front page post is assumed to be Markos; if there was a guest blogger that day—Billmon, Steve Gilliard, or RonK, Seattle—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, though given the very brief text in the Open Thread's body, it's not really relevant.

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

July and August 2003

Movable Type comments were shut down on July 1, 2003 at 5:01 p.m., and HaloScan comments were brought up in their place as a temporary measure on July 2, 2003 at 11:48 a.m. Unfortunately, due to problems setting up the first Daily Kos-owned server, Movable Type comments were not restored until August 16, 2003 at 9:44 a.m.; hence, any comments made by Steve Soto under HaloScan from July 2 through early morning on August 16 have been lost.

After August 15, 2003

Comments posted by Steve Soto after August 15 and until the Movable Type (archived) Daily Kos site was shut down on October 15, 2003, will be added as their links are retrieved from the archive. As this is a labor-intensive process, the task will take weeks or months to complete.

Here is a link that will show you the five comments Steve has made on the current, Scoop-based Daily Kos site—two in 2004, two in 2005, and his last on August 4, 2006:
