Housekeeping - no posting for a few weeks, comment moderation turned on

I will be off and not blogging for a few weeks, and the blog's getting attacked by comment spammers.  I've turned on comment moderation.  Friday might be the last day I can put up new posts or check for comments until after mid-March, so comments you submit might take a while, but they will eventually show up.  Sorry for the inconvenience, I'm beginning to regret the shift away from Haloscan.
