It looks like my blog is choosing sides between the people who post here. I'm noticing that Mick, the clear favorite, is able to post comments while I am not. My apologies to anyone else who is having this problem. I reached the limit of my understanding of how to solve it when I checked to see if the Comments Open switch wasn't mistakenly toggled to Closed. It was not. So now I'm waiting to hear from the smarties at Typepad, who will help me get into the good graces of my blog again.
As a special present to make up for the techno-snarl, which, I'm sure is responsible for the lack of comments around here, enjoy the brilliant and lovely Robert Newman:
You can watch the whole thing at Google Videos, which won't let me embed. Bah.
Mick, the clear favorite, is able to post comments...
Actually, very often not. But I thought it was this stupid library where pages take minutes to load when you can get them to load at all. If it's a Typepad glitch, that could be one less thing on my library shitlist, which is kinda long. (Starts with using an MS OS & browser - Vista is a dog and Explorer is still sooooo bad - and goes downhill from there.)
BTW, the comments thing seems to be tied to the sign-in thing, where even when I'm signed in it won't print my comment til I sign in. (Mark's had the same problem.) You might try eliminating the requirement for registration before commenting. It's not like we ever get inundated or something.

I'll do that! If we get innudated or something, it's on you, bud.

I presume that's you, Rob. If you do that, you have to fill out the form or there's no signature. (At least you can comment now.)

More glitches. I filled out the name/address thingy and it didn't show up. Now we'll have to ask people to sign their names in the body of the comment like so.

Dear Mick this is so fucked,
I would ask you to remember that Rome was not built nor burned in a day. I still have plenty of matches. Try it now - I think you were commenting while I was changing settings.
Wheeeee!

No, you're right, this does seem to be way so fucked. I'll send a petition to the Typepad gods and goddesses.

So how many days - and matches - did it take? (Can't smell any smoke yet....)

DAMNIT!

Now it tells me my comment is posted. Except it wasn't.
I'm not sure but I think this is worse than before.
