A step that made no sense, a number that looks wrong, a machine you would like explained. Short is fine. Blunt is better.
There is no name field and no email field because I do not want them. What gets stored is the text you write, which page you picked, and the date — nothing else. Your IP address is not saved: it is read once so that the same visitor cannot post thirty times in a row, and even then only as a one-way hash that deletes itself after thirty seconds. There is no login, no cookie, and no tracking pixel on this page. The whole thing is about forty lines of code, and if that sounds like a claim you should not take on trust, you are right — which is why it is worth saying that the code doing it is the only server-side code on this entire site.
The flip side of anonymous is that I cannot write back. If you want an answer, say so and I will put it in the page itself.
