Ah, that’s better!
I just had to do a little tinkering, there: I wanted the picture were it is now, rather than in the middle.
But that’s not quite hoe I meant to start off, this morning: I to quietly apologise to Trevor, who was a touch upset his answers ended up — automatically — in the Old Peculiar’s Spam folder.
Upset enough to not have a go, yesterday.
Trevor, it’s OK, I know exactly where the ‘Not Spam (☑) ’ button is!
Lets hope that helps and get moving on, shall we … ?
Yes, lets … !

I love it when people comment. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?
I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.
Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively adult. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.
Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.
If you can also leave you comments on today’s Teaser Video, that would be good.
Thank you.
* I know many value their online privacy. I respect that. But hope you respect my wish to see who’s commenting on my blog: and my wish for you to introduce your self to me, and to your fellow commentors.
