Comment Posting
A couple of things to say about posting comments here.
At the moment absolutely anyone can post a comment on absolutely any entry. You dont have to leave your name, address, phone number, vital statistics, bank balance or inside leg measurement.
I've set the comment system up so that if you leave an email address it will not be displayed on the site. I'll have access to it, but no nasty spammer robots will be able to grab it so you wont get any more offers to buy drugs from 'Reeleey grate 0nloin pharaciis' because you posted here.
I also support TypeKey logins which seem pretty dandy. If you register with them (for nowt) you can click a Sign In button on the comment posting page and it will realise who you are. That way you can keep a common name, and also prove it was you that posted a particular comment. Personally I would still avoid putting your main email address in your TypeKey profile since some TypeKey enabled blogs will display your email address. This one is set up not to, but others might and once a spammer gets your email address they never let go...
So, I'd suggest using this service to generate a disposable emial address for use at such site. Its another great free service. Ive been using them for around 6 months to create disposable emails addresses that only let a set number of mails through before becoming inactive. They are great for putting into sites that require an address but dont tell you exactly what they are going to do with it. So far they have blocked 785 unwanted emails for me!
