The comment function seems to be working again … We had been
having a problems with unregistered users posting comments, due to what appears
to be a malfunctioning “captcha” system. However, I tried it today and it
worked for me. If you are having problems with comments, you may want to
register. Or you can send the comment to me at rbates – at – jckonline.com, and
I will do my best to post them for you.
But as of two hours ago, everything seems to be working, even for unregistered users.
