False alarm

Never mind what I said yesterday about emailing me to become a so-called "team member" of this blog. (By now, that message is gone, so if you didn't see it the first time around, just ignore the rest of this post.) I discovered that in my aargh-ing about spammers I missed noticing one very lovely feature of Blogger, and that is the itty bitty trash can icon that shows up next to comments left here. I can give spammers the boot when they leave junk messages. So, I've changed the settings back to open commenting, to make it simple for you should you ever wish to respond to anything you read here. Hurray!
