LOVE the new commenting system!  Maybe it will also help people remember how to do civil discourse.

Jury's still out on the editorial layout  --  I kinda miss being able to see all the headlines at one quick scan.  

And I hope this layout still allows for "Updates"  --  the PDN is an invaluable resource when things start happening here.  

PS.  Well, maybe I love the idea of the new commenting system more than the actuality.  I've tried three times to post this comment, and each time have gotten stuck in an endless loop, where the same comment presents over and over.
