I fixed the comments form today – it had been inoperative for two months. Thanks to Loïc for reporting the malfunction – fixing a problem is usually not difficult as long as someone reports it… If you like the software you use, reporting problems is an easy and doubly self-gratifying way to give back : good bug reports are  not only valuable contributions for altruistic reasons, they are also  rewarded by improvements !

Anyway, this is yet another lesson in keeping WordPress plugins up to date – or maybe a hint that more WordPress plugins really should be packaged in my favorite distribution…
