OK, I give up boys and girls... the spammers have me out-gunned.  When I sift through 1,000+ pieces of SPAM comments/day it's time to call it quits.

Admitting defeat isn't pleasant but that only means that I'll be turning OFF the ability for you anonymous folks to comment.  I will continue to moderate and allow everyone to comment, but only if you register.  Now, I have no misgivings that this will actually stop blog comment spam, but it should annoy them enough to leave my blog alone ... maybe.

Thanks for reading!
