I had to remove the "comments" feature for this Blog. Spam is the reason behind this decision.

For months I was getting about four spam comments daily. However in recent weeks this total has jumped to over 20 per day.

I am sorry to have to turn off the comment feature as it was a good barometer of readers' interests.

As an aside, I am amazed at the ingenuity of the spammers. Some spammers appear to have read the entries or have some type of spidering mechanism that sends comments specifically focused on a post.

The conclusion in all of this is that the next great Internet fortune goes to the one who kills spam.
