NEW SYSTEM, OLD WAYS

One of my favourite soul songs is “I can’t stand up for falling down.” Sometimes, that’s how it feels here. Thanks to the great help of others, this site has been redesigned (for free) and had the most modern of commenting systems installed (for free). Yet when I read some comments I detect a feeling that things were better in the golden days when we had a haloscan comment system and a basic blog design. Well, we now have the “new” haloscan system and a more refined design. It seems that each time anything new is attempted, all that comes back is brickbats and a desire for what was. In which case….why bother? Maybe others can sort it all out?
