Over the last couple of weeks, I’ve seen a rather large increase (roughly 5x my usual traffic) in the number of visitors to this site. 99.999999% of the extra traffic is all due to a post I wrote last November. As we move into the final hours before Congress conducts its historic vote on this issue; I’ve noticed some of the comments my old post is receiving are little more than random spewing of hate. This is one of the reason that I use comment moderation on this site. If you’ve never left a comment on this site before; your comment goes into a queue. A queue which I check when I have the time and desire to do so.
Does this site have a formal comment policy? Not really, but if you’d like to read the comment policy of a writer I admire take a look at John Scalzi’s Site Disclaimer and Comment Policy. That should give you a pretty good idea how I feel about comments and the responsibilities of those who write them.

Alex: I had this problem on a 1999 Golf V5 however this solution didn't work. I phoned a mechanic, who said this:
1) Turn off ignition
2) Turn key part way but don't start the car. With some combination of wiggling the gearstick and turning the key without starting the engine, you can move the stick.
3) Hold the
olga: Hey Julia....I thought about doing the same thing. Half reg coffee and half plain. I tried it one time the other day and it wasnt so bad. alittle light on the coffee flavor but I can deal with it. Thinking about doing it with other fruit flavors too when necessary. Thx for sharing!
Janetxb: Another (former) Dannon coffee yogurt fan here..... until recently. I'd say for about 25 years I had one carton of Dannon coffee yogurt almost every day. I was pretty bummed out when they switched from 8- to 6-oz. cups, but I adjusted. Lately I do this instead: I put 1/2 t
