The public one is a normal comment. The private one is just a link to an email form that comes to me.

By having that ability on the comments page, it eliminates the need to find a contact form, and the author knows that what the commenter says is related to a specific post.

I’m working on a new site, and this seems like something that I wanted, but didn’t know it yet. I look forward to seeing how this can be integrated into sites.

Will they see the whispers?

Or people who might have a comment or a question which they are not sure is not silly — like ‘Sorry Lorelle, but what do you mean exactly by “Admin”, is it someone in particular, or did I miss something ?’

On the whole, I would use this kind of functionality for all the occasions I remember from school or conferences, when I’d really want to ask something from or say something to the teacher or speaker, but I’d rather not everyone else hear.

Still, the author’s (scrambled) e-mail address in the contact page serves just this purpose.

Or (if new commenters are all moderated), I can post a comment with a strange name (like ‘Mrs-knows-it-all’ or ‘MrFeelsSilly’) so that it remains stuck in the moderation queue, for the author’s eyes only.
