DISCLAIMER: in my experience, the following doesn't apply to 99% of my readership. Unfortunately, experience also shows it has to be written down for the remaining 1%.
The short version, when it comes to my comments policy, goes down to a line taken from the (mediocre) second opus of the Matrix:
"I built this place. Down here, I make the rules."
Let's elaborate a bit:
AVERTISSEMENT : selon mon expérience, ce qui suit ne s'applique pas à 99% de mes lecteurs. Malheureusement, l'expérience prouve aussi qu'il faut que cela soit écrit pour le pourcentage restant.
La version courte, concernant ma politique pour les commentaires, se résume à une ligne tirée du second (médiocre) volet de Matrix:
"J'ai construit cet endroit. Ici, je fais les lois."
Élaborons un brin :
If you need further help with the site, you may want to check the Field Manual. Ultimately, you can also drop me a line. I usually don't answer jellyfish and buttermonkey(1) hybrids however.
Si vous avez besoin de plus d'aide avec le site, jetez un œil au manuel d'instruction. Au pire, vous pouvez également m'envoyer un mot. J'ai cependant tendance à ne pas répondre aux fruits de l'union d'une méduse et d'un cul de singe.

I feel for you, frogman. Looks like France has turned into a country of coddled children who want Government to be mommy. This never ends well.

“The name of the game is called ‘Find the French Flag.’” That’s priceless ... and sad.

Given the anti-Americanism out of France over the past 60+ years, this American is enjoying the (further) devolution of France. I’m sitting in my Schadenfreude chair and can’t suppress the occasional giggle. As the great American philosopher Nelson Mundt says, "HA-hah!" Sic transit gloria mundi.

DF, Thanks for the on the ground report. It’s appreciated~ A co-worker came in the office today at 4am, we worked over night. He asked if I had seen the news about France and Greece. We talked about it & shook our heads. Here in NY I too have to show my drivers license and sign in to vote, naturally we’re registered to a party first. The French flag it’s that same colors as ours here. I see by your photos people like to fly a flag of a different color. They do the same thing here in the states. I work with a polish guy who immigrated here in the 1970’s. He has mentioned many times, he never thought he’d see the United States turn the way it has. I told him, well their is no more money left in fighting a cold war.
Regards BPB

DF, Alas, Flamby’s win confirms the suspicion that in politics all things are possible. Many of us stateside are affeared that an incumbent who engineered economic disaster, promoted (and signed into law) junk landmark legislation, blames everyone and everything but himself for his own handiwork, is self-absorbed to the point he forgets his wife in tow, is politically cynical and calculating, has no discernible moral core, has no higher goal than re-election, is incapable and misinformed—when not outright ignorant—about the powers and limits of his office, is divisive and petty—many of us are affeared that such a man might possibly get himself re-elected. How could such an astonishing thing be possible? [Pause for dreary effect.] Because Mr. Obama is running on “vision”. “Vision”, as you know, is what you hear before you vote and what you see after the election. How could Flamby be elected over the political corpses of the Parti Socialiste and his ex-domestic partner? All things apparently are possible. DGB
