General note

As a note: I've been getting comments in either Chinese (I'm pretty sure it's not Japanese, but I don't read Kanji - and I sure don't read Chinese characters!), now from two sources. Since there isn't really information on the commenters' blogs, and I don't click hyperlinks in comments unless I can source them. If these are legit comments, I'm sorry, but I don't like leaving live links to unknown things up in the comments (and I'm sure as heck not gonna click through to see what they are.)
