Everyone Gets Punished

My apologies to you, dear B&E readers, but I've decided it is time to turn on the "word verification" feature for commenting.

If you tend to read comment portion of things, here, at B&E, you may have noticed recently that the spammers have gotten through. In a simpler, purer time, it was enough that I didn't have a "blogspot" address. Somehow, making the jump from Blogger to a real dot-com address was too much for spammers.

But when there's marketing to be done, the marketing will get done. It is, after all, time to make the donuts. But I see no purpose to this marketing beyond annoying readers of now-sporadic blog posting (and, naturally, the blog's writer).

I get a little thrill when I receive comments. It makes me think that maybe someone's reading the now-sporadic pap I throw up onto the screen. And I want to do whatever I can to encourage people to tell me what's on their minds.

So no one is more disappointed than me in the decision to add a hoop to jump through for commenting on B&E. So please keep the comments coming, dear readers.

Unless you're spamming motherfuckers, whom I invite, with as little respect shown as possible, to have sex with themselves.
