Comments

Anyone can post a comment. No cookies, Javascript or Registering required. All HTML will be stripped and there are a few "markup" characters for *bold* ^italic^ _underline_ 'code'.

Trying to post HTTP links of any kind will not work.

Spam will eventually be detected and deleted. Anyone or any bot posting spam will denied further access to our entire domain.

Username

There is a username field for comments — it is not required and will default to something silly if blank. If you happen to want to care about having a unique username, see code. We do not want to discourage anonymous comments. We want to encourage people to "dash off" a comment if they want to.

Code

The code in the comment input form is for user registration without user registration.

If you enter a code, along with a unique (not already used username) you will "own" that username, and from then on only you will be able to write comments under that username.

A code is not required to write a comment and neither is a username. We don't list users so you may have to use trial and error to pick a unique name. If you do not enable cookies, and you entered a code, you will have to re-enter the code for each subsequent comment.

A code can be any combination of one or more characters (up to 32) and is case sensitive. Just choose something you will remember. A code is not for e-mail or web addresses, will never be displayed and is stored encrypted.

If you use a code please do not use a common name such as Phillip or John. Stored username/code pairs are for people who have a known web presence (or want to create a presence here) and want to "own" their comment(s). There is no other reason to use the code.

Notes:
  1. Letters, numbers, punctuation marks, etc.
  2. Xyzzy != xyzzy.
