Broken Comments on Blogger blogs

I have finally figured out why I could not post comments on my own blogs.  Bloody Abine/TACO add-in for FireFox was blocking third party cookies on this site.  Unblocking them turned out to be .... complicated due to the totally crap interface in the add-in... but it seems to be working now. 
Finally I can post all those insightful responses to the few people who have considered my rants provocative enough to comment upon... or spam... depends on your point of view...
