Comments Going Away
At over 400 spam comment attempts per day, it’s just too much work, especially given I post here
so infrequently that the number of legitimate comments is so low anyway. So I’m disabling comments
for now. If you really want to get in touch with me or comment on anything I’ve written, feel free to
send me an email, or go through all the hassle of registering an account.
Update: Ok, after thinking about it a bit more clearly, I’ve re-enabled comments, but
installed a couple of spam checkers. Lets hope Akismet and spamassassin can help sufficiently.
Part of the problem was that all comments get emailed to me for moderation, but because I was getting
>400 a day, they were just swamping me. And filtering those with my mail reader spam checker wasn’t
working because it kept learning that *any* moderation mail was spam.
