Comments

We used to allow users to comment on our posts but have stopped doing so as it was an entry point for hackers to get into the website. We no longer allow comments.

When visitors did leave comments on the site we collected the data shown in the comments form, the visitor’s IP address,  and browser user agent string to help spam detection.  An anonymized string created from the email address (also called a hash) may have been provided to the Gravatar service to see if you had used it.

If you left a comment on our site you may have opted in to save your name, email address and website in cookies. These were for your convenience so that you would not have to fill in your details again if you left another comment. These cookies last for one year.

Web Store

We used to have a Zencart store for the website that users would create an account on.  We have since closed this store and now sell on-line at eBay.  All user account information associated with the web store was deleted from this site.

Embedded content from other websites
