Tech glich, OK operator glich, and apologies to commentors

I have been having a few issues with my iPhone recently. A sticky screen owing to being dropped out of a pocket and onto the pavement one too many times.

As a result I sometimes tap it a bit too vigorously.

I did that this morning and by mistake deleted rather than published three fabulous comments. I felt terrible about that.

If those folks have the energy to re-comment, much appreciated. If not, my apologies. I did read your great comments but my readers didn't have the chance.

Quick reply to textile grandma. Of course you or any one can repost this post. I think it's an important subject and one that has generated, here at least, an terrific discussion.
