by the way...small bit of housekeeping...

I turned off the TypePad Connect comments, but that means that some old comments that were here have vanished. Sadly, there's no way I can salvage those, but please be assured it's not censorship, it's just a stupid technical limitation. I'm going back to Blogger's system, and that's good enough for me.

On that note, I need to go through and re-enable comments on old blog entries...I may miss one or two...if so, sorry! Just drop me an email and tell me which one I've missed, and I'll get it switched back on.
