  3. Oh dear. Don't like this new commenting format. Revert back to pop-up window if majority calls for it?

  4. Hey anon. Yeah, Goggle/Blogger dropped this one on us today... No notice, no choice... will take a look at other options...

  5. For the record, David is just about the nicest guy you could imagine.

  6. One thing about the new comment screen is there is no option to get follow-up comments via email. I hope there's a way to re-enable that. Google has also made the word verification almost impossible to read (and no more fun words).

  7. I just turned off the word verification. We'll see what that does.

    Hmm, wonder why Google-Blogger curtailed the follow-up comments emails. I need to get off of this blogging platform...

  8. Interestingly about the word verification; I have purposely typed in a random incorrect character in the captcha, and post was accepted. So it seems you don't have to actually type 100% correct.

  9. Also, that Redhead sign is hilarious. Such wit! Billy Crystal couldn't have done better himself.

  10. Don't forget National Pancake Day for free pancakes at IHOP tomorrow!
