Dear Readers,

I’ve had some feedback that it’s inconvenient to have to log in to post comments on the articles on the site, so I’ve instituted a new policy on the server to allow anyone to comment even if they are not logged in.

The reason for the previous policy was to prevent Spammers from putting their crap all over the site. You simply wouldn’t believe the amount of attempts they make to spread their filth all over the web. For example, in the last 7 days my anti-spam protection on the server has thwarted over 700 attacks in the form of comment spam!

I’m hoping that this change encourages more people to actually comment on the articles. I get e-mail notification of every single comment and I’ll read and respond to all that I can. If you’ve never used the comments on the site before feel free to practice with the form just below this post…

As always, thanks for stopping by!
