Combatting spam annotations

Over the last few days there has been an increasing amount of spam annotations appearing. I’ve now added an extra question to the annotations form which will hopefully prevent automated spammers from successfully posting things. It’s a simple enough question that you shouldn’t have any problems with it!

  Having received via this website (as I assume many of us have) an unusual proposition from a charmingly-clad American lady, I fell to wondering (being rather too far from the USA to make her acquaintance) what Samuel would have made of such an invitation. My guess is he would have filed it away in that part of his mind set aside for private matters, and, maybe, if the occasion presented itself, followed it up to some extent. The lady, of course, would reside rather closer, let us say Islington or Stratford-atte-Bow. At some point the question of remuneration would have been raised, and it might be then that Samuel would have thought better of it and made his excuses. As, more or less, have we. (Again, I assume.)
