Oops! Comments Deleted by Accident

My finger seems to have strayed and accidentally deleted all the comments posted here from April 1 through the afternoon of April 17. So if you commented and don't see your remarks or my response, you know the reason. Please accept my apology for the temporary (I hope) omission.

The efficient, agreeable customer support reps at TypePad, which hosts this site, will probably be able to restore the comments. I hope so.

TypePad provided me with a screen shot to illustrate how I must have made the unwanted cuts. The screen shot showed me exactly what not to do much more clearly than a paragraph would have.

Now that I am trained, I believe it's safe to comment again. Please do.
