Comment spam

Yes, I know I get a lot of it. It's apparently an occupational hazard of blogging. It's getting worse, too.

If you see comments written in gibberish -- and you have to dig pretty far back in the comments (or go here) -- just ignore it. I kick the spam to the curb every morning.

If you see something more profane (and I don't mean "Junior Sux! LOOSER!"), let me know by e-mail and I'll try to clean it asap.

Back to our regularly scheduled programming.

Isn't it nice to see the multitude of porn spammers every morning that think you're doing such a nice job on your blog...just makes you all warm and fuzzy doesn't it?

and even with the best anti- spam type software, you can't catch 'em all.. lots of sort by hand deleting... oh well, what price fame, eh?.. we shouldn't be so good, what say?!

And that's why I have comment moderation activated on my blog. It's regrettable how it cuts down on the interactivity side of things, but I do have better things to do than play comment cop all day.

Oh, and John... in the interest of accuracy, it's not the comments on the site you provided the link to that are gibberish.

It's the original posts.
