Commenting
It has been gratifying in recent days to learn of the expanding readership of theBarnstorming. We are pleased that others are interested in this project of ours and that some have even taken the time to "comment." Not wanting to take for granted the technological savvy of our readers, I will take a moment to note that anyone who feels compelled to respond to an entry may do so by clicking on "comments," which is in grey just below, with the number of said "comments" in parentheses just after. We received three such comments yesterday:
Steve was apoplectic at the thought of us resorting to the drop ceiling option. How would we have known of his earnest feelings had he not written a comment? Katrinka wanted to let me know that "someone is reading," and from this comment I was filled with a great, sweeping joy. Ming ranted on about nothing and everything. This was also welcome! Join the conversation and tell us what you really think. We're ready for your best shot.
Mean comments about our dog, while permissible, will be viewed as a sign of bad breeding.

Comments
Robbi tells me that "comments" is not "gray" but "dusty rose." Apologies if my poor choice of color descriptor threw any of you into a tizzy. She then acknowledged that it is "going to look different on different screens." If you made it this far, I guess we can assume that you were able to recognize the word "comments" by just seeing it. Genius.

Your dog is a son-of-a-bitch.

Not only was this comment rude and unnecessary, but it's also off base. Iggy, being female, is just a bitch. As was her mother, I suppose.

I don't know that the comment was rude or unnecessary. I think it was just Marigold's way of showing her bad breeding. Being a half-breed myself, I know all about it.
