On Exterminating the Bugs

If all goes as planned—which of course is never a sure thing—this week should see a material improvement in the bugs in the system. I am particularly eager for commenting to be fixed so that the permalink doesn’t have to be opened.

Re comments: I have to approve all comments now, which I didn’t do before. My policy is to allow people to say what they want—including caustic criticisms of me—but to never use cussing or ad homonym. I have always been impressed with the SHS commenters’ maturity and decorum—certainly not true of many blogs— and so I am sure hitting the “approve” link will be all but pro forma.

This switch seems to be accomplishing what I hoped. The older SHSers remain and we are gaining new pals.

Thanks all for your patience. Over and out.
