I’ve been leaving the comments active on the blog posts, and I’m glad to see that folks are starting to use them. In some cases, your comment will be labeled ‘awaiting moderation’, and won’t appear right away. Don’t get offended – I’m just trying to keep spam off the site. After your first comment is approved, you should be good to go.Are there other areas that you’d like the ability to comment?

Would you use them? P.S. – If you enjoy the site, please tell your friends. I like the thought of wide access to this information, and it may reach someone who has something absent from the archive.
