Dear Readers:

I love for you to comment on my blog posts, even when you disagree with me. As long as your comments are not spam, obscene, libelous, threatening, or otherwise VERY inappropriate, I will publish them.

At least, I will if I know what I'm doing.

I just discovered this afternoon that a number of you had left comments that had never been published. I thought I was approving them contemporaneously, but apparently I was not. The comment moderation on this blog works differently from what I was used to on our old site. 

I think I have it figured out now. I believe all of the non-spammy comments have now been published, and I promise to do better in the future. I do not want to suppress your speech or opinions, I promise. To those of you who comment, thank you - I very much appreciate the dialogue!

Robin
