Program note: This blog is shutting down

Last week's post was the last for this blog. When it started, blogs were the best way we had to take reader comments. But this was never the best use of a blog.

The feature is continuing in the print edition and each new one will be available at this link (it redirects you to the most recent one). Comments will be collected in our new discussion forums.

Thanks for all your participation here over the years. We hope the new format will promote an even better discussion.
