I've added a new anti-spam measure to the comment adding section. It's quite simple, and will really only stop the least determined spammer. It will prevent a spam bot from adding comments, unless the person behind it takes the trouble to look at my site, see what the protective measure is, and exploit it. For you regular people, just look at the little sentence above the Submit button, and you'll figure it out.

I decided to add this today because of the spam war I just ended. A bot got on the site, and started spamming everything for about 2 hours. I was fighting it the whole time, until I decided to disable comments until I fixed the problem. So if for some reason you tried to post a comment in the last 2 hours, and couldn't; that's what happened. But commenting has been fully re-enabled, so you should be good to go.
