I am very sorry to tell you that I have closed the comments. I surrendered to the avalanches of comment spam. They didn't appear on the blog, because I set the preferences to moderated a while ago, but they still appeared in my inbox, and I had to constantly delete them on the site. Too much work. So I am asking you to in future just comment on my Facebook page, most of you are my FB friends anyway. And you can always reach me privately.
