Well, this is another aspect of the "create your own stuff" part to the site, but there are a couple reasons:

This allows more direct-responses. If you go back through the receipts, there's alot of:
"Gabrielle -- yeah I agree, Dalliance -- you turn me on, in lieu -- you're really funny".
which are more suited for a threaded conversation, like this, where you can make direct responses without creating a convoluted storyline.

Next, there's a lot of "in general" comments. Each receipt has it's own storyline, created by it's own items, but this BBS is constant & all-encompassing, so general conversation about the receipts, but not any particular receipt, can go here.

But, that's just why I put it here, not rules about what's supposed to be done here. Even if I wince or disagree with the directions that comments have gone in the past, it's still creating a whole unit, making up what the site is all about, so I'm not adding any constraints here either.
