Housekeeping -- New Comment Interface

I was having increasing technical issues with Haloscan. It worked well for years, but not so well lately. For one thing, posting a comment caused my Safari browser to crash! So I'm switching to Blogspot's built in comments.

So from here on, please use the Blogspot comments. That's just to the right of the "posted by Mark" below each post.

I hate to erase old comments. So those remain up in the Haloscan format. But please use the Blogspot format by "posted by Mark" for all future comments. Thank you.

For practice, please ask any questions or make any suggestions for improving the comment format. Thanks.
