Note: Recent invasions of this blog have led me to enable "comment moderation," which means that in future your comments won't appear until I've approved them. I didn't want to do this, but the blog would otherwise be accessible to hucksters, hatemongers, porn peddlers, and degenerates of all shapes and sizes.

And a warning to all you bloggers: Word verification doesn't work.
