I've turned off comments on this blog, at least for the time being. I kept getting slammed with comment spam and it's starting to tick me off. It's not that the spam even gets published, but I have to keep deleting it and blocking IP addresses and it's irritating.

I may set up this blog to accept comments with a registration, as my personal weblog does, but really, people rarely comment here, anyway, so it's not like I'm losing anything.

Spammers are the absolute scum of the earth. I think they're worse than perfume counterfeiters because spammers pester EVERYONE, not just those who sell and wear perfume....
