I've shied away from allowing comments in the past since it has a tendency to draw out every loon with an internet connection, but starting with my last post I'm going to turn them on. If email is any indication my average reader understands the basics of decorum and reasoned discussion, so I'm optimistic that it won't devolve into an orgy of assmunchery. All I ask is that you be polite, provide links to any supporting facts or figures, and accept that reasonable people can disagree and still have a discussion.
Oh, and don't be an assmunch. Unless you can do it and be funny at the same time. Then you get a pass.
