But if you link up somewhere and I'm being a good linker and making my way around a few to comment, I won't leave a comment if word verification is on. Ain't nobody got time for that!

I don't have any on mine (you can follow me, if you like - lol) but I can understand why people keep it on. Spam around the blogosphere has been ridiculous lately. I don't get as much as some but it even shows up on new posts. I wish, oh i wish, there were a better way to say "hey, I'm not selling anything or in anyway trying to cause trouble" than causing migraines trying to figure out if that's an m or an r/n combo…. Until then, I'll weed the spam by hand and share your aversion to the wretchedness of Word Verif.CitricSugarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17580076318545974487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1842721577085503845.post-38359532015180980702013-06-20T23:41:20.410+01:002013-06-20T23:41:20.410+01:00I turned mine word verification long ago - but rec...I turned mine word verification long ago - but recently I started getting so many (100's) of fake mail. So I turned it back on for a while. I've turned it off again - and so far no more annoying fake comments. It is rough to send a message on your phone with it on.

In their defense, it seems blogger turns it on by default so it might not be people's faults that they have it on. <br /><br />Do you know anything about how google friend connect will work without google reader? I don't really know what to do about it.
