A quick update: as it says in the title of this post, comments on our reviews and on this blog have been disabled. Unfortunately, the Movable Type installation we use for those areas of the site is being overwhelmed by spam. We're looking into solutions. Apologies for the general inconvenience.

Of course, you could always send your feedback as an old-fashioned letter to the editor. I could even post the best ones here, letter column style. Maybe even rustle up a free book for the letter of the week. Well, it's a thought, anyway.

(Also, to be clear, this only affects the reviews department and this blog -- the comments system for the rest of the site is still up and running! e.g. for this week's podcast, which is in search of comments ...)
