Can I tell you how much time it takes me to purge all the SPAM messages that pile up in this weblog every day? It is insidious. There have been times when literally hundreds of comments have been submitted to my posts and suddenly appeared all over my weblog.
Luckily, I use a MT-Blacklist to filter out a lot of the junk (there are over 1,500 URL’s that are blacklisted). I cannot imagine what this weblog would look like without it. Well, I simply couldn稚 use Movable Type. The SPAMers keep pumping out new URL’s advertising everything from porn, to Texas-hold-em gambling, to “male-enhancement” drugs.
SPAM is evil, just plain evil.
