Pondering the complexities of life.

Sorry!!

In my unskilled attempt to block the awful SPAM epidemic, I seem to have blocked comments from...well...EVERYONE! I am sorry to anyone I offended by this completely unintentional banishment from my blog. It is only my technical skills which are sorely lacking, not my affection for all of you!!

Thanks to Gene and Andy who both alerted me to my screw up!

I noticed the word verification thing on Hof's blog and figured it would discourage the auto-placement of SPAM comments. When I turned on that feature, I must have somehow blocked comments entirely. Hopefully it is working correctly now.

Thanks for the idea, Uncle Hof!

I left you a comment on my blog to let you know that your comments were blocked. I don't know what's happened but last night I got 11 pieces of spam on bornfool. I'm probably going to have to put on the word verification thing, too.

I've had tons of spam lately too. I turned on this new word verification thing earlier today on my blog and not a spam comment yet so far... fingers crossed that it continues working!

I'm glad I'm not the only one who could not comment the other day.

Thanks Whiz! Whew. I tried to comment yesterday and couldn't. I was looking for your email addy so I could let you know. I thought I was the only one.

Wanted to thank you for the nice write up. you are the only one that calls me bandit with any regularity. Though my friend Jaz called me that jokingly when we were out and ladies were about. He was also the one that gave me that name.

I got my hands on a spammer once and forced him to watch Adam Sandler movies for 28 hours straight. That'll teach em!
