BLOG DISASTER UPDATE
Comments are back. Hurray!

Alas, your old comments have gone to comment heaven live on a farm in the country. I will miss your collective wit and wisdom of the past, but your comments will have to live on in memory. We'll all survive.

One of these days, I'll fix the archive problem. But we continue to make progress, and that's what's important.

UPDATE: I wrote too soon. The old comments have been recovered. Sweeeeet. Is there nothing I can't do?
