As many of you surmised, we had major site problems here. We were unable to post, our spam blocking was disabled and we were unable to delete comments, which led to us turning off comments altogether lest we get swamped.
We’re in the process of cleaning up now, which required some herculean efforts by the good folks over at Hosting Matters. Bear with us all while we straighten this out.
