sad: comments
I’m still investigating other options, but it’s starting to look as though I’m going to have to shut down the comments section entirely. The number of spam comments has exploded in the past week or so, so that I’m getting as many as twenty a day, all of which I have to delete. Even in batch mode, that’s a lot of deleting. I’m pretty sure I’m now requiring registration to comment, so I’m not sure how the spambots run that particular gauntlet, but here they are.
My original idea was to leave each post open for comments for a few weeks before shutting it down, and I might still try that. But the amount of housekeeping that would entail runs counter to my slothful nature.
So if you try to comment on this and you can’t, just know that it’s not you, it’s them. And you can always write me by typing the word “holler,” pressing Shift-2, and then adding the URL address above, minus the WWW part.
Adieu, blogosphere. It’s been fun, but now it’s time for me to withdraw into my own little world to contemplate my navel. Again.
