I see your lips moving but nothing's coming out

I'm sorry folks- it appears by the force of blogger default, I hadn't properly enabled commenting without some sort of user id business.  My bad.  I swear it wasn't some sort of big-ego attempt to squash any dissenting opinions.  

Please, go forth and comment!  Dissent!  Dissent!  And a big thank you to Megan for cluing me in.
