Comments Policy
We invite your comments and opinions on the basis that they are your comments and opinions, and not just ramblings and personal attacks. My rule of thumb. Don’t make any comments that you would not say to the person face to face, whoever that person might be. In other words, let’s all be nice as possible with each other, even though we might disagree. Life is too short to be sad, so happy commenting.
