The following paragraph catches my eye today from a Sea Shepherd press release:
According to the indictment, on the morning of September 8, the five men took two motorboats into the Strait of Juan de Fuca off the Makah tribal reservation at the tip of Washington’s Olympic Peninsula and harpooned the California gray whale.
OK, I’m a punctuation snob… But if ever there was a reminder of the importance of commas, this is it. You can scour the map, but you won’t find any place called the Strait of
Juan de Fuca off
But what a fine name it would be for a getaway destination.

Thanks, page.. sorry about my new theme labelling you as spam… you are soooo HAM! It was that old familiar chestnut of a single missing line from the theme developer:
< ?php do_action('comment_form', $post->ID); ?>
Made it all ok. I hope. Anybody else haveing problems lemme know!
