This will only be a temporary measure if all the spam floods back in, as I imagine it might. If I find C.A.R. swamped again, I'll look into setting up some sort of comment registration, if such a thing is possible using this template.

Also, if you noticed my last post, you'll see that I've started linking to my Japan Times stuff from C.A.R. now. That way, it makes C.A.R. look a bit less lonely. The Japan Times pays me for this stuff, see, whereas I don't pay myself anything really. Another place to look for occasional bursts of writing from me is Clear And Refreshing's sister project, the record label Call And Response, where I occasionally blog, when the mood takes me.
