Comment-Spammers Be Damned

My recent enforced hiatus (thanks, Verizon!) has opened my eyes. I have more comment-spammers than commenters. I don't blame anyone who might read this rather intermittant blog, but I do refuse to be a stop on a link farm. So, with apologies to all sincere commenters, I'm enabling human-verification for comments. Should any human have a problem having problems commenting, I will be very receptive to emails.
