Matt, thanks for posting my solution. And just to follow up... On Friday morning, when I was switching over and debugging, I got about 8 SPAM comments in total posted to the site (those spammers are relentless). Since I worked out the bugs Friday afternoon, I have gotten ZERO spam posts. So, either the spammers take the weekend off, or the system is working very nicely.
