Just an FYI to commenters here that although work is part of the reason I haven't been commenting back on blog posts, it's not the entire issue. Off and on for awhile now Typepad has not been allowing me to leave comments on my own posts. Either I can't get to the comment section at all or I get there, type a comment and then it just hangs there. Can you say "frustrating"? Anyway, I've checked in with the Typepad Help Desk and they say they'll be issuing a fix next week, so hopefully we'll be back to more interactive blog discussion once that's done. Thanks for your patience. :-)
