A couple of things...

Just to let you know I do respond to some of the comments posted, but usually I comment where ever the comment was posted (like in the comments for that post - so check there for a response.

Another thing ... 'Cuz' you need to make up your own name (it's more fun for you)and I did respond to your comment on the post you commented on. And I checked my e-mail and there aren't any e-mails in there that haven't been responded to. I don't get e-mail addresses from comments posted on this blog so don't expect e-mailed responses from comments made :)
