(I've figured out one of the reasons that I'm not so fond of blogspot... it only haphazardly sends me comments! arg. Maybe i did something wrong in my setup.... I'll have to investigate and maybe change the look of this page while I'm at it.... just because i can.)

EDIT: it was my setup, somehow the "email comments to" field had been cleared out. hmmm. interesting. it's been fixed now :)
