Clearly I have some work to do to increase the conversions from this site, and maybe taking comments down is part of that. More obviously, I need a quote or ordering page. Part of the reason I haven't yanked comments here is that no one has abused them, but it might be a worthwhile experiment to see if I can get some folks chatting with me about my web site / programming work. Let me know how your Web 3.0 [Just Say Something(tm)] experiment goes! Hi Marty,
