Comment policy change

We've been getting some comment spam recently. To combat this annoyance we're going to restrict comments to registered users. I hope this works and that it doesn't discourage anyone who wants to post. We like comments. We read comments. We answer comments. But we don't want to send anyone to a bogus website from our comments.

Thanks.
