No bots on this blog!

Recently we have found a couple of comments on the blog that were clearly generated by spam programs (I doubt that a timber investment company was REALLY all that interested in Dad's recent farm update!) So, I've just added "word verification" to the comment procedure. This will require commenters to read a word and type it into a box before leaving a comment. Only human beings can do it, so it should keep most of the spam-bots off the blog. It doesn't mean we don't want comments. We DO want comments! Just please check to make sure you are a human being and not a bot before you leave one, that's all.
