While the results of [1] a recent poll showed a favorable response to AuthImage, I still think people (as well as myself) would rather not have to enter a code, as well as not have to see any comment spam. [2] Spam Karma looks to have progressed to the point where all the bugs have been ironed out, so I have reinstalled it. Spam Karma will give your post a Karma score based on how much it looks like spam. Clean comments are automatically posted, ambigious comments are asked to complete image/email verification, and obvious spam is automatically deleted. An additional benefit of becoming a [3] registered reader is that all comments are automatically approved!

Again, please let me know if you have any problems with the new system, using the Contact link in the menu to the left.

Alright, enough screwing around on the computer — time to clean up the house before the [4] parents come home!
