I'm experiencing some technical difficulties with comments. The site has been getting spammed with some pretty disgusting and deplorable comments/advertisements from questionable vendors of ill-repute out there, so I turned up the security, apparently so high that the system wouldn't even let me comment on my own blog and junked even my comments!

I think I've salvaged most of your comments from the last week and have the problem fixed. I do like hearing from you all!

As for you spammers out there, kiss my ass. May all of your web servers and email spammer bot thingies blow up. I will hunt you down with my gigantic nearly 1,700-pound draft horse and let him sit on top of your computers, as we are planning to learn the "sit" trick here sometime soon. A pox on you all!
