THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR PATIENCE...:

..while we had problems with the site. As near as we can tell, the comment spam difficulties that we always have were greatly exacerbated on Election Day, presumably coincidentally. The volume led to our host site asking us--well, demanding that--we move to a less trafficked (more expensive) server. Transferring everything over turned out to be a more laborious process than we initially anticipated, and there are still a few bugs to be worked out, but we should be mostly functional again.

My thanks to The Other Brother, who really earned his salary this past week--especially since it's $0--and to AOG for helping him out with some of the technical problems. Thanks to the Brothers from Other Mothers who were tragically silenced during a big news week and to readers/commenters who had problems with the Sovereignty Blog.

If you've posted for the blog in the past and don't have access, please let me know and we can set you up again. If you're having trouble commenting or with other functions of the blog, please let the O.B. or me know and we'll try to rectify the situation.

We readily recognize that it is you not us who make the site enjoyable and we deeply regret the inconvenience of the last two weeks. Hopefully the changes forced upon us will end up serving everyone well. Thanks again for your indulgence and your patronage.

For some reason, I can't sign in to comment using typekey. It tells me validation fails. I used typekey successfully on other sites.

Also, it might be worth a note that your RSS feed has changed! I was using an older MT one, and wondered why it wasn't updating. :)

The "Remember Me?" option seems to be having memory lapses and I got the same message as Kevin when I tried to sign-in at TypeKey. I had previously stopped signing-in because it had become problematic. Both the RSS Feed and email notices are working fine now that I know what do and what to look for. Thanks to all for your help.

I really appreciate this blog and wish to thank everyone involved for making it such a fun place to visit.

Good question. Anyone run the math?
