Back to Business as Usual
As someone who's recently had to delete about 50 of them, let me make one thing clear: people who post spam comments are one of the lowest forms of life on earth. It's an even ruder waste of someone else's resources in addition to being far more difficult to get rid of.
E-mail will find a way to deal with spam because it's so flexible and we need it so much. Weblog comment systems are not flexible and they only exist at our pleasure--so you shitheads are going to end up forcing many people to change the way they blog just so they don't have to put up with your crap anymore.
People are such slime.

Jay promptly and politely replied to tell me to look at the first post on his page and not bother him again until the update was ready. What a difference a day makes.
Anyway, it's good stuff. This is a lot nicer than slogging through eighty entries to take out the bad comments by hand.
