Zooms from zero to 60 in four seconds. Top speed, 130 miles per hour. About 80 miles per charge.

Looking around, I see that Phillip Pearson is providing a very useful comment monitor system that can monitor comments in any Radio Userland weblog and generate an RSS feed of those comments. I have created a monitor and am now subscribed to the feed. So, now I'll catch those rare comments. Whew!
