Sorry for the inconvenience…

For the last few weeks, I've been having massive trouble with comment and trackback spam, so I decided to set some tougher spam protection mechanisms into operation. In addition to the captcha mechanism (in use since I started this blog), a valid email address is now required. This address won't be displayed anywhere, but it is used to send you a verification email with a link to activate your comment. You only have to go through this once, afterwards your email address is known to be trustworthy and your comments will be accepted immediately. Furthermore, all comments are submitted to the Akismet API for spam checking.
