Dear Readers,
\nLast week at Beliefnet we implemented a small change to our blog commenting system – you now have to confirm that you are a real person, and not a spammer, by typing in a few characters of text upon submitting your comments. This change was necessary in order to curtail the amount of spam that many of our blogs have been receiving in the comments area. We know that some of you have experienced problems with the new system. We are quickly making changes to address the issues you have reported–including extending the period before it times out, better messaging about how to post, and instructions for how to retrieve your post if it appears lost.
\nWe hope those changes help. Let us know if there are other changes you recommend. Thank you for your patience.
