You may have noticed that the comments disappeared these past few days. Haloscan, the commenting service I've used since this blog appeared, has gone out of business.  (Well, technically it's been bought and put out of business.) Not wanting to lose the existing comments, I've switched to the company that took over Haloscan simply because it's the path of least resistance.

But there are other options.  If you're feeling disgruntled, let me know.
