Since starting this blog, it’s attracted seven million billion spams and, in my haste to rid myself of them, I’ve inadvertently deleted all of the genuine comments received to date. It appears I have now resolved this but I’m afraid all the comments have been sacrificed to the internet gods. What a plague on the web world spam is. Their authors should have their eyelids taped back to their heads and be forced to stare into a bright computer screen and read every word that originates from their hapless lives.
