A few weeks ago, it occurred to me that I ought to look more closely at the "comments" settings and I noticed that I'd unintentionally restricted them. You see, we split this blog out from our family blog -- which had open-commenting up until when some guy with a diaper fetish decided to make us a favorite stop to look at the rare picture of our youngest in diapers. Eeewww... I therefore made the viewing and commenting private on the "family" blog.
Anyhow, the comments are now open which is what I had intended all along. Thanks and we appreciate your thoughts.
