sorry MJ, it's my site and i'm not very technical so i use this somewhat crapola blog software (which i'm hoping to change soon). it's pretty limiting, sorry. i just didn't anticipate things getting so big... anyway the thing to do, as you've discovered, is add a comment to a post that you're interested in or if you have something fresh to say then post on the 'random thoughts' thread and change the subject heading. i know, it's not very impressive... sorry.
