My husband said the sad thing is that he understood the question perfectly, even though he is not an information technology guy.

I wonder if I can get this spam-blocking software to work on this site?

A friend of mine on Facebook posted this Washington Post article about Facebook applications:

It’s something to keep in mind, but I’m not overly concerned.
