Obviously not a lot of people comment here, but for the handful of you that may have tried recently I want to apologize for your inability to comment.
Comments were broken since sometime in late-October or early-November. (I didn't realize it until I got two separate emails on Monday after posting about programatic Christmas hymns). I thought I'd permanently fixed the problem Monday afternoon, but it didn't quite stay fixed like I intended. ;-)
I've since found & squashed what I think was the final bug in the commenting code. (All a fall out from my trying to out smart the automated comment spammers a while back...)

See, this comment is itself proof that comments are working again... :-)
Yoohoo! Thanks Michael!
