I hate comment spam

I have now made 'word verification' a requirement for anyone wishing to post comments to this blog. I know it can be an annoying extra step, but I do want those who wish to post genuine comments to please do so.

Genuine, interesting and open interaction is important to me, and I enjoy reading and replying to the comments on my posts here – even if it takes me a while. I just hate spammers and others trying to generate links to their crappy websites abusing this and cluttering up this blog.

So, wrack off comment spammers!
