Yes, registration here is a pain in the butt, largely because I've been getting a huge amount of automated comment spam, even though none of it ever goes live, as it's held for adminstrative approval. Sorry about that, and my apologies, but you go to war with the Internet you have, not the Internet you wish you had. So yeah, you're going to have to verify by email, and add two numbers together, and won't be able to comment until I approve your account. This is wretched, and I hate it as much as you do.
Except for trusted users, all comments and posts are held for administrative review. Spam will not publically appear.
