With some regret, because I believe in making it easy for people to spontaneously leave a message when they visit, I'm now making commenting on my blog subject to moderation. I don't get many comments, but most of the ones I do are spurious, designed to promote various porn or spam sites. I've just kicked off another batch today and decided enough is enough - I don't want to be constantly policing my own blog! So, my apologies for the extra step if you feel like leaving me a genuine comment, and I hope it won;t disuade you.
