Comments Are Open Again
Comments are back "on!" Much as I hated to, and as antisocial as it seems in the blogosphere, I was forced for a lengthy interregnum to turn comments "off" thanks to the reprehensible phenomenon of "comment spam:" After waking up several days in a row late last year to find myself obliged to manually delete dozens of "comments" advertising everything from Texas Hold-'Em Poker to p**** pills, I decided that exercise was bad for the soul and took drastic action.
Comment spam is generated by automated bots whose sole purpose in their dreary and cheesy lives is to find blogs with comments open and to spew their bile. But I have now installed two pretty wonderful Movable Type "plug-in's," MT_Blacklist and MT_Spamlookup, which, between them, seem to have solved, or 99.9% ameliorated, the problem.
I invite readers to test-drive the new commenting system and let me know if fails to perform as advertised. Tech support is "in," as always, at bmacewen at nyc dot rr dot com.
