A comment on commenting

*Please note the change below - DP

Hey everybody. On behalf of all of the folks who contribute to this blog, I'd like to explain and let you know how much we regret having to make everyone register before commenting. When we changed over to a new version of MovableType, we thought we had the problem of spam comments licked, and for a while we did. But those insidious spam bots, like the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park 2, found a way to reproduce and get themselves published. Our only recourse was to require registration.

So please, please, please, take a minute or two to register. You can be as anonymous as you want. Make up an anonymous name. If you're worried about spam, use a fake email address (edited to add) an anonymous email address that you use for registering for this kind of stuff (heck, that's what I did). We just want to continue hearing from the users of this site.

Thanks everyone. Now back to figuring out what we want from the next mayor.

Dave: It looks like it is working. It was a little weird with me too, but you appear to be approved and commenting. I am really sorry we have to stoop to such a level, and we hope you keep on commenting...

I think I was being shown a chached page (from before logins were required) on this computer. Refreshing seems to have fixed the problem.
