Of course, most of them left LJ because they were sick of it, but that might be something they'd be willing to see back - especially if it was an option to have it "on" or not.

I'd also hope it would be short, rather than a paragraph; not much more than a sentence. Many LiveJournal users legitimately comment on syndicated accounts to interact with other users (here) and know full well that the author may not read the LJ account. *That* interaction isn't something that one needs to be warned off of. ;-P
Was: "Comments to syndicated accounts may not be read by the author of a feed, as the feed is published through an external website" what you had in mind, or something very different?
