I've just disabled track back pings on all entries on "The Horse's Mouth". Although this is a useful facility for linking like-minded blogs and providing "remote commenting", it's now been used for that here ... rather, it's been picked up by advertisers wanting to provide links to their sites selling pharmaceutical products, betting services and other things that I really don't feel inclined to endorse.
"The Mouth" remains open for comments; if you're a registered
Opentalk poster then your comments should be accepted straight away; if you're not registered there or give a different identity, it's a human process for us to accept your post which we'll be delighted to do.
The need for common logins is the "bane" of a modern website such as ours where we've got a variety of our own software, and other software too, each with its own login system. We're working on a common login system - using an OO interface internally - so that we'll be able in the New Year to provide single login, and let you register with just one element (blog, or forum, or
mywellho) in order to access them all.
