Comment on comments

Hey, I turned on comment moderation because I was getting some spam messages and couldn't seem to selectively remove them post facto (strange, I may be missing something, but the screen is small and the connection slow so I didn't conduct an exhaustive review of the blogger site).

Options seemed to be:

1. Allow spammy comments to appear, which is probably the most practical option but which tickles the small part of me that cares about aesthetics. This part of me does not like to be tickled. Seriously. Stop it. I'm not kidding.
2. Ban comments altogether, which would offend my insatiable desire for positive reinforcement, or, I guess, the possibility of positive reinforcement. Even in its absence. Perhaps this should be reconsidered.
3. Use that 'captcha' system where you have to copy some loopy numbers and letters into a box to prove you're human if you want to make a comment, which, that just sucks.
4. This, where I approve all comments. Feel free to insult me, viciously and unrelentingly, to test how censorious I am.

Hopefully a temporary fix, and I'll try to approve all comments promptly. That said, I may be dropping off the grid for a few days, starting today (hence up at 3am). I'll keep you posted. Or rather, I won't post anything, and you can figure it out.
