Now that our website has a blog I have learned that spam comes in to the comment sections on blogs. The spam does not get posted publicly on the blog unless the blogger approves it. The following comments are copied verbatim. In other words, the typos are not mine.

“So much info in so few words. Toltsoy could learn a lot.”

“Thank God! Somonee with brains speaks!”

“That’s rlealy shrewd! Good to see the logic set out so well.”

“I feel so much hpapier now I understand all this. Thanks!”

“Superb! it’s the word that comes to my mind after i review your weblog and when I just read that which you need to say. Your thinking are extremely much as well my own. We pleased which i chose to enter your site and find out what you are interested in.”
