Some months ago I changed the comment settings on the RC to require commentors to sign in via facebook, twitter or a similar service in order to comment. This eliminated the annoyance of comment spam, but it also eliminated most other comments as well, including those evidently of some loyal readers. Now I have switched the comment settings back to where no facebook etc. sign in is required. We'll see how this goes.

Yay!

Thank you.

Thanks--while I could comment under the old system, it was enough of a pain that I'm sure I skipped a few comments I would otherwise have chimed in with.
On another topic, anyone want to buy some genuine Louis Vuitton bags? (Just kidding...)

Glad that fluff and nonsense is behind us. I deliberately choose to stay off of social media.

Good call.

Yes, thank you. I don't know enough about these computer thingees to understand how the comments got so FUBAR'd but they were. I had posted a few under the failed system, noticing that not many were getting through. Even though FACEBOOK knows y.o.s. as "Lou Gots," those comments which did appear were being attributed to "D."

Good move, I have no intention of joining Facebook or Twitter.
