I took down the Image Verification (Captcha) in response to accumulated frustration expressed by users. I can’t get the Captcha and Preview functions to play nicely together. We’ll try this out and hopefully I won’t get spammed to death (a bad way to go).

Please let me know how commenting goes, via email (my gmail account name is “fierymind”) if your comments can’t go through.
