Comments Working!

Medawar's apologies to anyone who has tried, and failed, to post comments to this blog.

He foolishly stuck with the blogger defaults throughout, thinking this would be foolproof, and, of course, this produced comment forms that let one type long comments, then failed to send them anywhere for Medawar to moderate and publish them.

This has now been fixed, by selecting the "pop-up window" option on the comments page, which may be annoying for some, but which works, whereas the default, embedded option, does not work. And not for the reason advanced by blogger, neither.

Anyway, ladies, gentleman, comment at will, and once again, Medawar's profound apologies for having spent a fortnight waiting for comments that you may all have been busily typing.

Never, ever, trust a default setting without checking that it works!

The above was a test message, because the blogger default option for comments did not work.

The person who declared that you were "Medawar" would APPEAR to be Phillip Beaven, of Brentwood. Who makes a practice of this kind of thing.

Someone, and Mr Beaven fits the profile, had a great campaign to persuade the AR movement that "Shacwatch" was Josie Hitchens, whoever that is, which could have subjected her to violence and was probably meant to.

They are now trying to get everyone to believe that "Shacwatch" is someone called "Kerry". Whoever it is, they are too cowardly to even stalk in person.

Good Luck, with whatever it is you do, when not tripping over idiots!
