Kai, I'm sorry about the verification. But it's a Substack policy to ask you to verify your email address (a one-time step to prevent spam). You don’t need to subscribe or create an account—just check your inbox for a one-time link. Unfortunately, I can't change this requirement.
Some newfangled discomfort from Substack--I had to have a code sent to my email in order to comment! So, so, they didn't inform you. This policy will not encourage reader comments, needless to say. (Ps I do not have a rap sheet as a felonious commentator. I don't think.)

Nice one, John. Good luck with this work. On the other hand this cr-p with the 'verification code' in order to comment? Not so good.
What is a verification code?

I'll see if I can cancel this requirement.
Lmk. It may be site-wide.
