The *reason* I just blew up the blog was that I got a notice from Haloscan that the commenting service I was using is going to die, and why don't you sign up for our pay service? Well, the heck with that when Blogger has its own freebie commenting service, but I clearly hit the wrong button in trying to change over... Oh, well. Sorry about that Bill, Ben. Your comments from yesterday were eaten by an imp of the perverse.
