Comments have been turned back on

Comments have been turned back on, but will be moderated. Those I consider sub-standard will be rejected with no explanation.

Of those comments which do appear, I may not have the time to respond to all (or even most) of them.

Remember:

"... weblogs and message boards are different. ... Weblog topics have comments and message board topics have replies. This subtle difference in syntax reveals a difference in the roles. The word comment for weblogs implies that the author does not need further participation to reach a goal-comment if you want. Reply, on the other hand, implies that participation is explicitly requested by the poster. … weblogs do not depend on responses to provide value. ... weblogs can turn-off comments and depend on new topics from the webloggers for value. ..."

Genesis 5:3-5. ³When Adam had lived 130 years, he had a son in his own likeness, in his own image; and he named him Seth. ⁴After Seth was born, Adam lived 800 years and had other sons and daughters. ⁵Altogether, Adam lived 930 years, and then he died.
