Heh. Tom, could you check the Somervillain list as well? I can't get in to make any changes (or clean out the spam).

I know of one blog that asks a simple question that must be answered in order to post a comment. e.g. "What color is an orange?" That might suffice for our purposes.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Oranges are in.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
