Are You Human?

by Mike Phenow

Check “Yes” or “No.”

As much as I hate to have to do it, because I know how big of a pain they are, I’ve added a captcha (http://recaptcha.net/) to the comment form. I know they suck and I know you know you’re human, but I’ve started getting 50+ spam comments a day and I don’t have time to deal with it.

I thought about requiring an account to comment, but that’s stupid. If you do really hate captchas, but you think you might also want to comment frequently, creating an account and being logged in will make the captchas disappear.

Sorry for the inconvenience. Welcome to the internet.
