boarders repelled

Some little while ago, I changed the name of a file used in the comment process, and submission of comments by spambots ceased. Comments are now open, until another wave breaches the battlements. I’m betting that the number of good comments that I won’t have to moderate before then will exceed the number of spamments that will get through before I see it and flip the switch again.
