Oh, dear!
Last time I looked at this post, it was a picture that looked as though it had been photographed at high speed, with no writing attached. The previous blogger had just seen computer gobbledegook...
Now I see no photo, I DO see the gobbledegook... and your comments have disappeared :( Darn Blogger!
