Captcha is back

Sorry, the experiment of doing without Captcha (the little hidden number box you have to copy into another box to get your comment published) is finished. The spambots re-discovered my blog after less than a week, and I am getting them over a dozen at a time now. Typepad, my blogging engine, doesn't seem to be able to deal with them effectively at the server level anymore.

For those who don't realize it, spam is more than a nuisance. Spams carry a much higher level of viruses, trojans, etc than do ordinary emails, and I would hate to have someone click on a spam comment, follow a link in it and have their computer trashed. Not on MY watch, babe.

Captcha is re-installed. If anyone experiences a failure to post on a comment, just right-click the body of your message, choose "copy" go to your email engine and paste it into an email and send it to perspac@yahoo.com I will then publish it through my editing function. Don't forget to put in your horsepower (blogging name, email and website) if you want that published with it, as well as the post you want the comment attached to.

Gotta go, but all y'all have fun out there and try not to run down any neurosurgeons, I might be needing one soon and I want to have a good selection of them, heh.
