I made a small change in commenting policy. I am experimentally blocking comments from "open and insecure proxies". This is to prevent the deluge of comment spam I have been getting lately on this blog (over 3000 per day). If you find yourself unable to comment on my blog please email me at angsuman[at]taragana[dot]com and let me know.
