A Reminder About Comments

With the comment moderation feature enabled, readers very occasionally protest that their comments have not been published. This doesn't happen often -- maybe one in 15 or 20 comments is excluded. To reiterate: Respectful disagreement and alternative viewpoints are welcome. Comments, however, that include gratuitous insults to other readers or to me will not be posted (even if their substance is meritorious in other ways), nor will items that include crass or vulgar language.
