After an abysmally unfavorable signal-to-noise ratio over the last few months, I’ve taken the step of requiring CAPTCHA validation in order to post comments. I’m using it in conjunction with other tools I have here to cut down on my spam I’ve been receiving. Fortunately, it’s working, in fact, it was working too well. Out of over 265 comments, only two were legitimate, and two more were from me.

I don’t want to miss any actual comments, whenever this blog takes off and gets more well-known, but I’m trying to make my workload a bit more manageable.

Thanks for you understanding!
