The comments from the BlogSpot site have been painstakingly imported to this weblog. At first it was one at a time, but even an immortal can see advantages to efficiency, so towards the end they were just entered as a single post- far less time consuming. For newcomers to this place, I used to post in full anonymity, using the initials ?MD?. Since making my name public I have gone to signing comments with ?ZM?.

There remains only the question of what to do with the old site?
