Commenting at this blog [was] temporarily disabled [from Sept. 9 until Sept. 13]

1and1.com, the web host for this blog, [was] experiencing a problem that prevent[ed] anyone (even the moderator) from posting comments to any of the blog entries.

The posting of comments appears to be possible again as of now.  I hope that the fix that 1and1.com devised will be a permanent solution. –Walter
