But hey, at least your priorities are in the right place. You've always managed to get the work/life balance just right and I applaud you for that! I passed up Affiliate Summit West last year for a family ski trip. This year the ski trip is happening 2 days after I get back from the Underground... so I'm thrilled to be able to do both. Enjoy your visit and I'm sure we'll catch up again at some point... (the cigar bar in D.C. again maybe?) . :-) Best, Ros Pity for us, Phil — I would have loved to have caught up with you.

I would only add that I use PHPCaptcha.org on a non WordPress site and really like it. It's doing the job very well. Thanks again for the suggestions. Kind regards, Frank Eckdall Unix Admin aka Frank & Shiva P.D. If time allows I will see if I can code a plugin for WordPress using open source software that works with WP 2.7 Thank you from for the tip Phil,

My daughter has been living in England for the past 3 years and she's coming home on the second day of the seminar. Got to put her first :) I'm hoping to get over to something this year though :) Phil I’ve love to see you at Yanik’s, but I can’t make it this year.

The first is a captcha plugin http://www. theblog.ca/anti-spam which I saw being used on a big UK newspaper site, and the second is http:// wordpress-plugins.feifei.us/hashcash/ which works by checking if the comment is being posted by a person or a bot, and blocks attempts by bots. Hope this helps. Phil Hi Rosalind

Something like 'We have received your comment'? At the moment, it just takes you back to the same page, and sometimes I can't tell if it worked or not.

ANY day of the week! Wish we had somebody like Barack up here, instead of the "Desperate Housewives" we do have.
