Very happy to see the pace has picked up a bit, as I enjoy each new post. Also nice to see some more of your work here, and new forum for some images at the TE web-journal/site. Idly curious: why do some posts seem to permit comments, and not others? I see "0 comments" on some, and I can leave a note; others posts, there seems to be no such option.

Thanks again for the images and sounds. Best wishes!

hey, thanks so much for the nice compliment... there'll be more posts in the future, in the hopes to keep the momentum. i believe arthur memory turned many of the comments off because of spams we have been getting.
