I hate jumping through hoops. There's a natural inbuilt reaction that happens in my head each time I have to perform a certain set of actions in order to complete a task.

That's why I'm crap at Quake 2 and Adventure Games.

And now I discover that Blogger has added a new layer of security to its commenting process. Now you have to enter one of those annoying alphanumeric sequences in order to leave a simple comment.

I was feeling a bit abandoned and lonely because I don't get a lot of comments. Now I'm tempted to say "don't bother".

I blame the spammers.

Actually, I'm feeling a bit left out because I haven't suffered from comment spam.

How bad does a blog have to be that not even spammers like it?

I'm feeling a little vulnerable and unloved today.
