Comments To This Blog

In the past I regarded the relatively small amount of SPAM comments that managed to reach this blog as more of a nuisance than a serious problem. However, a recent pornographic comment to this blog crossed the line and fortunately Stephen has implemented a solution.

From now on an attempt to send a comment will be accompanied by request that you manually key in a word that is displayed in front of you. This will frustrate those mindless robots that scour the internet trying to make everyone's life miserable.

Users of Facebook and other internet facilities will be familiar with the technique. When you try it you'll see how easy it is. If you want to know more see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAPTCHA

I apologize for this extra layer of procedure but it is for our collective protection.
