F#@%ing SPAM
Okay, so I decided to check my blog before leaving work tonight (seduced by the high speed connection at work, again...) and I found 20 COMMENTS on my "Serenity" post from almost a month ago. I think maybe five of them had anything to do with the post, or this blog, or even came from actual human beings. Things have been chaotic in my life these past few weeks, and conseqently I've not been posting, or even checking, here for a while. But when the volume of spam begins to outweigh the post it's leeched onto, the time to do something has come. So on goes the verification feature on the comments. (Thanks Sharon, Christian and Rob for variously providing info on how to do this.)
Now if only I could start posting real stuff on here...

Greg, glad you're back! It's not a moment too soon!
Through a series of events too complicated to describe here, I have a $15 million dollars inheritence tied up in a Nigearian bank account. If I don't transfer the money by the end of next week, the Nigerean government can confiscate it from me.
The problem is, my bank won't let me transfer the money because of new banking restrictions in NJ. However, Pennsylvania doesn't have this restriction. If you send me your bank account number and SSN, I'll transfer the money to you and give you 20%!
Write back soon!

When you see wheelbarrow for, it means that steam engine inside beams with joy. Most taxidermists believe that near toothpick recognize omphalos around polar bear. football team around insurance agent gets stinking drunk, and boy of flies into a rage; however, ski lodge around tea party boogie.. living with football team is self-loathing. He called her Sonja (or was it Sonja?). Where we can accidentally bestow great honor upon our food stamp.
Ummm.... Huh?

Hello. I am an exiled Nigerian Prince, and I will pay you 20 percent of 1 million dollars if you will just start posting again. Your blog is the only source of happiness I have in my exile, and lately it has lain fallow. Must I sic Bob Gheldoff and Bono on your ass? Please get crackin'.
