You may have noticed a string of spam on the site - that's what I get for, you know, sleeping. At the moment I'm too busy running around in Madison to figure out if this is some outgrowth of the Conficker worm, or just a slug of people trying to take over the site.
In any case, for the time being new accounts on the site are going to have to be approved by me - which in this case means that nobody will be able to make a new account and blog the same day. Or perhaps the same week. I hate that, since I've always wanted this site to be open to differing viewpoints and to be an easy resource to use - but still, we've been sending out a lot of tripe on our RSS feed since last night, and it's time for it to stop - as to what the policy will be in the long run, I'm not sure, But at least until I get back to Downsville, you're going to have to convince me that you're an earnest soul to blog on the site.
