I Hear Ya, Loyal Readers! (Even If No One Else Does.)

Thanks to everyone who responded yesterday to let me know they could (or couldn't) see that last post. The problem was definitely Blogger's and not mine. They seem to have had quite a few difficulties of late; I really hope we're over them all now.

Also, my comments seem to be working more normally now than they were a week ago, but I've had a number of problems with comments not being posted, sometimes even after people submit them repeatedly. I can tell this because, even though they're not showing up on the blog, I'm getting the e-mail notices saying they've been submitted. Enetation has always done this once in a while, but it seems to be happening quite a lot lately. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this, too, is just a temporary glitch.

In the meantime, since I have seen comments that people tried to post here and couldn't, I'll be generous and share them with you all. To begin with Fred deserves the Maximum Verbosity Perseverance Award for being willing to post eight times in order to make one amusingly self-deprecating joke. Way to go, Fred! Don't let those bastards at enetation rob you of your freedom of expression!

Tamara posts to say that she'll believe the Firefly movie is going to happen when she's sitting in the theater with a bag of popcorn watching it. Me, too, Tamara, but I've been so pessimistic about so many things on the entertainment front of late that I think this is going to be my thing to latch onto to be optimistic about.

And my dad wants to know what the heck a gluon is, presumably having come out as one on the subatomic particle quiz. Well, dad, a gluon is the particle that carries the force that holds quarks together. Meaning the universe would pretty much fall apart without you, so consider it an honor!

There. Hope I didn't miss anybody. And my apologies for the annoyance.
