In the last week I’ve been inundated by spam comments, and some of them are getting through. If you’ve had to read any of that sewage, I’m very sorry. I apologize, too, to the handful of people whose comments got caught in the filter and flushed away. I glimpsed a couple of legit comments just as they were vanishing into oblivion. The more I scanned the stuff in the filter, the more depressed I got. So, finally, I just hit “delete all.” If you repost your comments, or email them to me, I’ll make sure they stick this time.

And I’ve upped security. I know the added steps are a nuisance, but I can’t see any alternative.
