New commenting infrastructure

Haloscan commenting and trackback have been added to this blog. HaloScan has better commenting features, and as a blog owner, it allows me to stroke my ego to see who's linked to my posts...or destroy my ego and see all the people who have NOT linked to my posts! hehehehe

Anyway, prior comments may have been zapped (which, in some cases, is a damned good thing...unfortunate in other cases). Henceforth, they shouldn't be. So, proceed...
