by the way, my apologies. there's a setting on the post that turns off comments to this one that I apparently hit by mistake...I kept wondering why no one was commenting, then Leanan emailed me ask why comments were turned off...!

May I suggest a rule of thumb, Prof. Goose? If you post something and don't see comments within the first hour after the post, then check the "no comments" flag immediately. This has occurred multiple times since the software changeover so apparently it is easy for you and others to do.

No comments from this crowd? Never! Well, almost never, unless you've set the flag. So if you don't see comments, check the flag!

had someone sent an email to the eds box it would have been noted even sooner.

Some revisionist thoughts to my original comment:


Professor Ostrich: Hmmm... No comments down here either.
