A tentative return to non-moderated commenting

The Russian Beauties disappeared after I switched to “pre-moderation” of comments. Whether that’s because the spam computers are blocked by that feature, or have simply moved on — they do seem to invade, spew their spam for a few weeks and then go elsewhere — I don’t know. The comment page, the best feature of this blog, is much more fun when it’s operating in real-time, so I’m dipping a toe back in those waters. If the spam reappears, we’ll have to retreat again.

UPDATE: Well, that was quick. The spam was being blocked by the pre-moderation setting, and flooded back in the second it was lifted.

Sigh.
