NO SPAM




Like a lot of bloggers I get hit by spam.

Blogger filters them so you readers don't see them, but I have to manually remove anonymous spam content from the spam file, my email accounts and my laptop/Iphone.

It has become a pain in the erse.

I have changed my Blogger settings as a first step in the defence against web abuse.

So regular readers you will need, at least for a while, to use word verification/captcha when you post a comment.

Sorry, but that is the way it is.

Here is the origin of the term, long before the internet was invented.

By the way, if you can't read the captcha, hit the refresh icon next to the wordbox, it will provide another pair of images that get increasingly easier to perceive.
