 Regarding Comments: I am now subscribing to Askimet which will automatically delete most spam comments so that they don’t get near the website.  In addition, I will delete, in bulk, all comments which make it to my spam queue.  I also delete, without reading, any comments in my pending queue which show a URL.  So, the get a comment published on the website, I suggest:

• that you do not list a URL on your comment
• I would like to see more, specific comments about a point or an opinion I’ve expressed in a particular post.  Critical, specific comments are also welcome. 
• Please keep your comment brief and to the point.  I don’t think my readers are interested in a long wheeze posted by someone else. 
• Please don’t include quotations from somebody famous in your comments.  I want to hear your opinions, not the ideas of the famous person. 
• Some of my readers are not proficient in written English.  That is OK.  But I will delete comments that don’t make sense. 
• Sweeping, thoughtless or malicious comments will not be posted, but as I’ve said above, thoughtful, specific and critical comments are welcome. 
• Please feel free to suggest any new topics you would like to see me address.
• I will try to respond to specific questions about my writing or my views on writing.
