Really Sick of Blog Spam

There are now 2075 ISP numbers banned from commenting. Only a handful are actually people who were banned for things they wrote. The rest are my futile attempt to stop blog spam. I have to delete at least a hundred comments a day just to keep up. I am sick and tired of it.

I will probably start turning off the comments function for some of the old posts, which is too bad, because old posts sometimes keep generating discussion. I will certainly keep the post on Pink Popcorn going, because it is interesting how the stuff has a powerful resonance for people who grew up in the Bay Area, Sacramento, or some of the few other places where pink popcorn was a staple at the zoo or the circus.

If I can talk Ann into doing it, I would ideally have one of those things where you have to type in the characters you see on a graphic.

It is either that or go the way of Don Jim Tucker and not have comments at all.
