Comments are down

My web host (friends of mine) unplugged the comments module after the first 1,000 spams came in within two hours. I think you can still read comments but you can't write them. I'm going to try installing David Raynes' script that lets you turn off comments on scripts older than n days until I can install James Seng's script that will require commenters to type in a verification code displayed on the page. Thanks to BurningBird, who also offers a MySQL command that will strip out all comments between two named times.

In the meantime, if you need to reach me, I'm at my usual emai1 address, which you can construct by connecting self to evident with an at thingy in the moddle and a dot and a com at the end.

Damn spammers.

Guidelines for Commenting

Basically, you can say what you want. (Click here for the fine print.)

If you haven't left a comment here before, your comment may be put into a queue for me to approve. Sorry for the delay. Blame the damn spammers.
