The comment login system is acting strange. If you get an error message saying you aren't logged in when you are, just reload the comment page and try again. I'm trying to track this bug down, but it's not easy.
I'm no engineer, but it seems to have an awful lot of exposed parts for something that's supposed to run for 10,000 years. Is it supposed to run for 10k years without ever being cleaned or oiled?
