I have put commenting back up with "word capture" which I assume means you've got to type a word into a box though as the administrator of the site, that apparently doesn't come up on my screen.  If that's enough to thwart the porn bot,  we'll see. 

I have retained comment moderation.  Comment moderation was put up when people who troll me started attacking other people here, something I won't sponsor.   I don't care much what you say about me as long as it isn't true and it often isn't, but that doesn't mean I'm required to post it, either.   Amuse me, and I might post it, attack someone who doesn't get a choice in what gets posted here and you won't get your comment posted. 

By the way,  I will be sticking with the "New Blogger" some of the things about it I don't much like but I guess I'll get used to it.  It is a lot easier to see on the screen for someone with less vision acuity such as myself.   I might actually learn to like it, sort of.
