Kirsten - I have also been thinking that guestbooks really are more annoying than useful. Years ago I loved them - but now I seldom bother to read or sign them at pages that I visit - for the reasons you have mentioned.

I LOVE your websites but probably have not been to the guestbooks for the past year or so.

It really is a shame that you get all of these nasty and annoying posts - I wonder if some of the comments are generated by computer?? What a waste of time if people are doing this individually.
