It has come to my attention that there is now a verification process necessary for the comments section of this blog. If you want to comment, you must prove that you are "Not a Robot" by (checking the box if you're not a robot), and then typing in a verification request.

I am also getting hit with these requests, and even though I have disabled the comment verification process for this blog, Google keeps on putting them back.

I have sent a note to Google, and I hope that with time they will address it.

For the moment, I share in your frustration that we must spend an extra 20 seconds of our lives addressing and satisfying the Google Overlords.

P.S.: Makes me wonder if I should set up my own website independent from Google. Hmmmm ... something to ponder during the holidays.
