Sorry. Even though I’ve got a total of zero legitimate comments, spam is out of hand to the point that my host has sent me a complaint regarding slow SQL queries, so I am hoping that this will curb that so I don’t have to move.

Thanks!

I’ve Moved

Sort of.  Instead of reinventing the wheel, I’m migrating the site to a WordPress blog. Less time spent on back-end maintenence will translate to more updates to the site.
