When I set this blog up, I imagined some who visited would have something to say about it. I knew that not everyone would agree with me (most polls and surveys indicate few people agree with me). That’s OK. To paraphrase Mo Udall, if everyone agrees with you, you’re wrong. So, I was ready for disagreement, even some flames; still, I tried to make commenting easy and to encourage it.

I never anticipated ”blog spammers”. These low-lifes post ‘comments’ on blogs that link to porn or sell products for penis enlargement or Viagra; recently, there has been a spate of debt-consolidation postings. In truth, these postings are few but more than once a day on the half a dozen blogs I manage. I’m tired of dealing with these pests, so I’m shutting down comments. To those who legitimately wish to comment, I’m sorry. You can still send me email (which, of course, the spammers do); if you want me to, I will post your comments (with some limitations).

To the spammers — oh, what the hell, they couldn’t care less what harm they do. To them, I recommend GeorgeWBush.com :: Official Blog.
