spambots

So a spambot has latched onto one of the posts at this blog and has tried to comment literally hundreds of times.  I am happy to report the spam filter has blocked them all, but I am going to try to shut this down by changing the means by which you can comment at this blog, making it a little more difficult. 

I plan to return the settings to open, anonymous comments on Monday to see if repeated failure caused the bot to move on. 

In the meantime, I hope you all get some rest.  I know my northern readers have had a very snowy, challenging winter.  I have an interesting post planned for Monday, a discussion on why you can't trust political polls.  See you then.
