Spam, anti-spam and the Blogging Poet

Billy Jones told me to write about this or he'd kick my butt, although he used more colorful language given that he's a poet and all. I told Billy that he needs to get in line, that threats come across the transom every day. Let me just say that he made his case. Besides, unlike the people in front of him, I like him.

We started using a good spam filter about three months ago after the comment spam got out of hand. It has pretty much eliminated that problem.

Yeah you've got alot on some old pages. I was searching for an exploit on my site, and came across this NR page which has several comment spams.... Just giving you a heads up, but I'm betting you're aware.
