Word Verification

You may notice that when leaving a comment, you are now asked to complete Word Verification. After disallowing anonymous comments I thought I had the spam problem solved but now I'm getting even more than before but now they aren't anonymous. They are, however, still spam. The Word Verification prevents automated systems from adding comments to the blog, since it takes a human being to read the word and pass this step. I hope this doesn't inconvenience anyone. If it becomes a huge PITA let me know.
