Some readers have alerted me that this web site has become infected with what is known as the Pharma virus. This virus puts up ads for Cialis in place of some of the posts. It is erratic and is more likely to happen in some browsers than others. It is also difficult to fix, but I’m working on it.

One problem is that nearly 30,000 names have signed up to this web site, though fewer than 50 have left a comment. Most of the rest were attempts to spam the site. I’ve managed to erase all of them, while leaving those who have commented recently. If I’ve accidentally erased your login, I apologize; simply create a new one the next time you want to make a comment. Once I approve the comment, you should be immune from further erasures.

Please let me know if you encounter the Pharma ad. As I say, I’ll do my best to rid this site of that virus, but it may take a little time. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy the latest posts, and if you have a problem, try a different browser to see if that works better.
