I’d like to formally apologize for the length of the period of time during which posts on the previous incarnation of this blog appeared to offer the possibility of making comments while in fact preventing everyone from doing so.

Ahem.

These problems do not apply to the new, improved View From The Foothills. You don’t need to login; you don’t need to jump through hoops; if you want to leave a comment, just click on “comments” and (if you’re a human being) you can do so.

I realize that I’m being a bit inconsistent to encourage people to comment after months and months of training them not to. Ah, well.
