By clicking on the link to leave a comment, you are agreeing that your comment is relevant to the posts here, or generally intended to start or continue a discussion about media, and that your post does not contain advertising.
Despite what some folks think, this isn’t a public space that anyone can litter with sales pitches, links to gambling, invitations to porn, etc.
Every time a comment is posted, I immediately get an e-mail. Those that don’t meet the criteria in the first graf get deleted.

The best way to stop spam would be to spend some time in moderating the comments persoanlly rather than relying on any captchas. You can go to the other extreme of not allowing anyone to comment – but then the whole essence of sharing information is lost. At least Yahoo and MSN rewards the commentators with relevant backlinks, so that is a reward which many spammers like to go for.
