A slight change for adding your comments

I get countless pieces of "comment spam" that I have to deal with every day so that you don't have to see that garbage in the "comments" sections. I certainly want to encourage you to continue to post your comments, but I am going to have to add a step. It is called "word verification" and it works like this. When you click on "comments" you can see any other comments and then a box for you to write yours. Then, will be given something like this:
So, here are the steps:
1) Write your comment in the box.
2) Then type the word verification words into the box (put a space between them).
    (If you have difficulty making out the words, click the little circle arrow to get new ones.)
3) Click on "Anonymous" under "Choose an identity"
4) Click on the "Publish Your Comment" button just below that.

If you are taken back to the comments then you did everything correctly. If it takes you to the sign-up page then you did something wrong or you left out a step—most commonly forgetting to click on "Anonymous" under "Choose and identity".

You have NO idea how much this is going to help me. If you would like to have a few dozen comment spams to read, let me know and I'll forward a bunch to you. ;-)
