Henry,

This is great!  A few things:

1) I'm concerned about having the commenting system come from 
beartronics.com.  When can we get it moved over to an OL domain?

2) It would be great if the form appeared inline on the page so the 
documentation is still available for reading, copy/paste, etc.  How 
about showing a <div> when you click the 'add a comment link'?

3) It's just a matter of time before spammers figure out the answer to 
the anti-spam question.  We really need a captcha or something - this is 
an arms race for sure...
