A Note About Comments

I've had my first experience with "comment spam" in which a spammer posts bazillions of comments to the blog. To prevent this, I activiated a feature of the blog software that prompts you to type in a few letters before you post a comment. Because the letters are in a funny format, it takes a human to read them, so it's a way of making sure the posts are not just coming from a computer sending out spam. Hope it's not too inconvenient.
