Spam
I'm sorry legitimate anonymous posters, but until Blogger comes up with a spam-blocking protocol for comments, I have had to change my comments settings so that only Blogger members can comment. I hate that, but last night I got nuked into oblivion with spam comments in under 30 minutes. Since I hate spammers with every single fiber of my being, I set my comments to no anonymous posters. Perhaps in future I'll be able to return to the free-posting process I prefer, but for now, I'm afraid you will need to register with Blogger to comment. One spammer was a registered Blogger member and got through anyway, which vexed me in a serious way, so if that continues, I will be forced to discontinue comments at all, as I would rather sacrifice feedback than allow a scumback lower lifeform to feed off of me and my legitimate business practice. I'm very sorry for any consternation that might cause you anonymous readers. If you know any people who practice spam as a business practice, I recommend punching them to see if it makes you feel better.

I got hit with a bunch of spam comments this week, too. Must be a large-scale attack. Y'know, I'm betting spammers probably smell just as badly as your skunky snake.
i figure it's a passing thing and in another week or two...maybe a month, i can open the comments back up again. diaryland went thru this a few months ago, but it wasn't as bad; i got a mail or two a day, not 6 in one half hour. and yes, spammers do smell as bad as the skunky snake! :)
