Note on comments

Man, are we ever getting hammered by comment spam. I'm deleting hundreds a day, and I just don't have time to keep doing that.

I'm going to bump up the filter another notch. Please do keep an eye on your comments and let me know if they haven't published after 12 hours or so (I try to get to them at least that often).

Or, better, just register with TypePad and log into it for comments here. Then your comments will never go to the spam folder.

If changing the settings doesn't help, I'll have to go to only TypePad comments.

(Until I can upgrade to the new Movable Type, which won't be any time really soon.)

Other alternative: you can volunteer to delete all the spam for me. But, believe me, you don't want that job ;-)

There are some pretty good "capcha" plug ins which will keep your comment spam down to something reasonable. Recommended.

thanks, Vinay. haven't had much luck tinkering with MT, especially on the server side. i really need to just upgrade to v4, but i'm waiting for a weekend when i have time for catastrophic failure and can still call in the cavalry if need be ;-)
