If you decide to comment on an article appearing in the Boston Globe's web site, you'd better be careful of the words you use, even if in the context of your statement the word is perfectly harmless. I tried to enter a comment following their classical-music critic Jeremy Eichler's story on the schedule of operas next season by Opera Boston. I expressed the hope that they would not add any distracting features such as the video the Boston Lyric Opera inserted into their their staging of Benjamin Britten's setting of the Henry James novella "Turn of the Screw".

The Globe rolled out a tweaked boston.com home page. It's quite something. At least on my monitor, the first screen now has six ads and just three stories, six random headlines and half a photo.
