One more thing to worry about: Comment spam

I haven’t seen this yet, but evidently some enterprising scumbags are now inserting spam into people’s blog comments. A detailed discussion of possible techniques to thwart this ensued.

As a side-dish, I discovered a website that will test how well e-mail addresses on web pages have been obscured to foil spambots (this page passed).

  1. oh man, how totally obnoxious! Spammers SUCK!!!

    … By the way, friend, want to increase the life of your printer toner by 6 months while also reducing the rate of your home loan by half a point? No? Well then, will you help me and my family? I’m the wife of the late Nmufumdfumumbo Abacha, and I need for you to fly to London and deposit 3 million pounds into my account.

    What? You won’t? Oh MAN, you’re no fun!!!
