A Little Too Much Relish…

If you’re heading out to any Fourth of July picnics in the next couple weeks, feel free to use as much relish as you want. But if you’re blogging, be careful if you get into any Comment Relish.
Comment Relish is a Wordpress plugin that will send a welcome email to any new commenters.
I was considering using it myself, until it crashed John Chow’s blog for two hours!
I guess it’s pretty good for new blogs, but it could crash a blog with lots of comments.
See, it runs through all your comments to see if the current commenter has left a comment before. That way it can dispatch a welcome email to the new guys. Problem is, that query can really take a toll on your MySQL database!!
All is not lost though. The Patchlog made an edited version of Comment Relish you could try.
Hopefully there will be a new version of Comment Relish sometime without these problems.
Until then, stick with sweet relish!
