Regulars amongst you (including our writers) may have noticed that comments have been screwy lately. We've been battling massive spam attacks, and the way around it is to enable moderation of comments. Every time I think the spam bots have left us, and I allow comments again, we get hit.

For the forseeable future, comments will remain moderated, and I'll try and approve them in a timely fashion, but be aware that there will definitely be a lag, especially over the holidays.
