The following are some guidelines so people know what to expect when they submit a comment on this site.

• A username and email address are required to comment; a website link is optional. Your email address is never published.

• The first comment you make is moderated; once it is approved, all future comments are posted automatically.

• Freedom of speech and expression is encouraged. However, I reserve the right to edit or delete comments which are offensive or derogatory. Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

• Off-topic comments or comments which have been posted to the wrong thread may be moved so they don’t disrupt the thread.

• Comments are the responsibility of the comment author. By submitting a comment you agree that its publication does not reflect my views or the views of other comment authors.

• Occasional comments may be mistaken for spam, especially if they include links; if you think your comment is missing, contact me and I’ll try to retrieve it.

I appreciate everyone who takes the time to leave a comment, so thank you, and thank you for taking an interest in my site.
