More Housekeeping

The Echo comments seem to be working, although a bit more fettling will be needed. The rushed and clumsy change from Haloscan has put a lot of people's backs up but we shall see how things settle down. I have had (and deleted) a few spam comments. I don't want to switch on verification unless I am forced to, but it does mean that if I am offline for a bit there may be some garbage in the comments until I can get round to dealing with it. Thanks for being patient.
