In the early days of this site, when we got a lot of spam-comment and not much genuine response, we simplified the op-editors’ lives by doing without a comments page. But recently we’ve had had some interesting mail, some of which hung, unfairly neglected, for several days. So, despite any note still lingering on the site (pending some tweaks) that we don’t run a comments feature, we’ve published them all (find ‘em under the “send us a comment” tag). Thanks as always to our readers.
