Administrative note re: comments

Thank you to anyone visiting and wishing to leave a comment!  I don't get many, so it's always fun.  Except when it's a spammer, which is why I just changed the settings on the blog.  If you're signed in to Typepad or another service, I don't think you will see the random letters box, but if you are commenting with just an email address, it will ask you to enter one of those blasted codes.  I've been getting a lot of spam comments, so I decided I'd better add this.  Thanks for understanding! :)
