2 There might be a bit of cookie illness associated with the switch. It should all shake out in a day or two, though.

The comments page looks nicer.

72 I managed to leave 1 multiple post, an ''oops'' and then 3 blank posts (one per populated post) in the Blair/Brown thread.

My apologies all 'round. I wish I could just edit/delete my own mess, but I can't.

AAR:
1. I saw the error message the first time and figured I'd better try again: ''maybe if I take out the carriage return and make the email address non-null.''
2. Same set of error messages.
3. Left an ''oopsie'' meaning to be a call for cleanup on aisles 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. (2, 4 and 6 being blank posts... not sure why those are there.)
