A comment about comments

I forgot to add this to my other post...I want to thank everyone who comments on my blog...as of yet I have not been able to directly reply to comments that are left...blogger doesn't let me click on an email address to reply to comments...I do not know why and if there is a way I have not been able to figure out how...there have been many comments that I have wanted to reply to via email but could not do so and I do apologize. I just wanted to say that because I didn't want anyone to think that I wasn't reading them. Also some have had problems with the verification thingy...I had to turn it on because I was getting spammed...I know what the difficulty is (I have experienced it with commenting on other blogs) but the problem is out of my control...I don't know why it gets stuck or you have to verify several times before it will post your comment...its a glich in the program.
