I normally do not add a “personal comment” to my WaccoReader postings but I just noticed that there is in the field under the heading of "your message" (where its on the WaccoReader posting page):...
...“[I]Please include a personal comment about what you think about the article you are posting. Thanks!”...
So, anyway; that is why I made a comment here.
