Just a note to all…I moderate all comments on this site. That means your comment on any particular post will not show up immediately. I get notified when a new comment is posted, and either approve it or disapprove. I will not show up on the site unless I have approved it. This is necessary to keep the spam comments from appearing. I receive almsot 100 of those a day. Unfortunately, notifications of new comments have started getting rejected by my e-mail spam filter even though I have it set to allow them. Until I work this out, it might take a day or two for legitimate comments to appear on the site.
