No, I really do like comments….

…. though the fact that they have all disappeared from the blog might suggest otherwise.
You see, one day I went to check my comments folder and found thousands, from Adelbert, Al, Aloysius, Abe, Alfonso, Alfie, Ammon, Alex–and that’s just a few of the As. It turns out that the phrase “foot in mouth” drives sex sites in Italy to email. Perhaps the manufacture of so many nice shoes encourages foot fetishism in the population. At any rate, in a fit of irritation, I hit “select all,” then “delete,” thinking that the already published comments would be safe. Actually, I wasn’t thinking.
I hope you–so long as you are not Ammon or Adelbert or Abe from pussyfoot.com– will continue to write.
