I've tweaked the comments page a bit. The uber-ugly email link has been replaced with the trimmed down text [email] and the mailto link has been altered a bit.
The comments box still won't take HTML, and still gives a way-ugly error if you try, but it now allows just over ½ dozen BBCodes.
And my aggregator is now searchable, but that only affects me, so don't worry if you can't find that one.
