Several people have contacted us and said when they now try to comment on Mary’s post titled County Press Release – Recall Election Violations, they instead see the message “Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.”

We did not close the “comment” section, so this is apparently a software problem that we will try to fix or at least identify and then explain.

ADDENDUM AT 08:32:  It was operator error — mine!  Our software has a setting that tells it to shut off comments after a set number of days.  I had it set to 14 days.  It’s open again for now, however we may decide to go back to the 14 day setting.  It should be possible for on-topic comments to be completed during that time.
