The Internet is a wonderful communication tool but there are those who try to mis-use it. This blog implements several mechanisms to minimize the mis-use (commonly called spam). You don't need to know some of them but here is an explanation for those that you see.

If you provide an email address an email will be sent to you after you submit the comment. The email will contain a link. If you click on that link the comment will be published right away. If you don't provide an email address or if you don't click on the link the comment will be reviewed by me some time later and will then be either published or rejected. DO NOT WORRY - the email address will only be used to send that email. It will not be shown anywhere on the web site.
