I am temporarily closing comments on posts ...

... older than a few days so that I can do something other than deal with a new spate of spam. This spam is different from other spam, so it is quite possible that I'll accidentally delete real comments. If you think a post of yours is taking too long to get posted let me know, and I'll see if I can dig it out of the spam folder.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

A bit of blog housekeeping here... Normally, I find out about new comments on my blog through e-mail notifications that get sent to me shortly after you, the reader and commenter, post your comments.

Can you please do something about the repetitive posting regarding the theatre shooter located here in Aurora. He literally has nothing to do with the study of Neurology and Neurosciences other than he happened to be in a Neuroscience program at the University of Colorado Hospital (A facility I frequent for neurological services). There is plenty of news about the person, some accurate, most of it not, already on social media like twitter, facebook and blogs that do not verify sources. I follow Neuro Now for info about neurology and related neurosciences, I do not follow it to read about a shooter in my hometown that the local news is covering better than any national network currently. Thank you.
