No more anonymity

I've just changed the settings on this blog to block anonymous messages. This is really too bad, as I like hearing from whomever cares to read my blog, and not limit comments to those who have gone through the minor agony of registering themselves with yet another web site. But I'm getting inundated with adver-mail that smacks of bots (and poorly written ones at that. Who QA's this stuff?), and that's not helpful to anyone.

So, I want to hear from you if you are indeed a real person and have some real comment about what I've written, what I should write, or something else that's even remotely sensible. But posts that say,

"Yo, dude, this blog rocks. I've got this cool web site named #broadcast message. Check it out!!!"

will be blocked. I guess it's a case of bad apples spoiling the barrel.

The four of you that regularly read this blog will be happy (?) to know that I'm working on two (count 'em, two!) new posts that will hopefully get published soon.

Cheers.
