Ok, now, I love you, so I go through with it, and leave a comment. But if you are on Blooger, and you have your comments on the same page, it takes alt least three times to make a comment go through. I write, I ask it to post comment, it reloads and says it can't process my comment. I post it again, it reloads and has the comment verification. As long as I get that right (and don't just hit "enter" - no, I have to click in the little "post" button) it works. If I get a letter wrong, and it reloads a forth time, then I usually just give up. Probably a lot of people who might leave a kind or observant note never bother past the first try.
So, it's blooger's fault, but when the comments are at the bottom of the page, not in a new window, not in a pop up box, it just doesn't work properly. So, if you have one of those, and you have seen comments from me before, you won't hear from me again. I'm just tired of it, not you.
I'll still come and read and think good thoughts of you, but I'm just worn out with the hoops I must jump through. I'm sorry, I really am. You'll see me in your stats.
Last straw just got me.

Have you run out of straws? Hmmm... let me see, what do I have here, paper clips, elastic bands, scotch tape, a broken headlamp for a 2001 Hyundai Elantra, a stack of paper... hmm... sorry, I haven't any straws to give you.
Plus, they always split. Especially the bendy kind. So, even if I had one in a drawer, it wouldn't suck properly.
Your comment thingy works fine.
Thanks for persevering. I don't get many comments otherwise...
Blooger - Blogger? I hope you're not having problems over at mine - are you? I used to get complaints about the number of times one had to do the word ver thing. Your comment arrangement looks the same as mine.
Thanks for posting this. My other blog has an inline comment form, but I never actually tried it out myself until now.
Nothing worse than a cool idea badly implemented.

Yours is better, only took two tries. Two is reasonable. Which reminds me, I have to add you to my links... later this afternoon.
RtheS,
Yours works fine. Yeah, I've always called it that on the blog. Rather like fecesbook.
Pacian,
Never had a problem with Spacecat Rocketship. It's that one particular setting, and it's just broken.
Is this happening when you visit my blog? If so I appreciate that you've been leaving comments as often as you have (as well as appreciating them regardless).
Trousers,
No, yours opens on a new page. That works just fine.
I'd better head over to mine from Tom's side to make sure since I put verification on again. I thought I was OK, I don't like those other kind of boxes either, but I hadn't thought to check I wasn't doing one...
Funny how the blameless check, and the offenders don't.
Lucy, not you neither.
