Comments

All comments are read by the authors of the blog; they try to respond to comments when both appropriate and time permits.   Please comment and do so often as we appreciate feedback, critique, and discussion. However, do not be discouraged if your comment does not receive an immediate response.

To maintain a balance of civility and healthy debate, ad hominem attacks, spam, and other postings will be deleted by the administrators of the blog as they see fit.  Consequently, please keep a level-headed tone when commenting and discussing ideas with others.  Our readership is currently small and we have not had any problems with comments and hope to continue an encouraging forum for discussion and debate.
