Comment Boxes 101

Now that most of our readers are back in school, which somehow miraculously makes browsing the internet and subsequently reading our annoying posts that much easier, it's time for class.
This course is entitled Comment Boxes 101.
Somewhere during the course of the summer, when the format of this site got changed, I trashed the link to the guestbook. There is good reason for this. Namely, only I have access to the guestbook, which proves rather limited. By access, I mean password. By password, I mean the one I forgot sometime long ago.
Also the guestbook proved retarded because everyone kept leaving PMs (private messages, not post-meridians) which no one but me could check, and on the occasion that I somehow could get access to check them, were for someone else anyway.
The "Comments" option is a good route to go, because it provides a user friendly interface for both us regular post-ers and you, the stupid reader. It's the closest most of you will get to ever posting on the main page yourself, so consider it a great and terrible power that you could use for evil, but will choose to use for good.
With that being said...I think that's it for now. Any addendums I have will be added to the comments section of this chapter.
