spam

I've been hit by a lot of spam over the past few months. I installed a Bayesian filter a little while ago, and have spent the past couple of months training it. It's pretty accurate now, so I finally added the screen-out tags to my templates. This is mostly good news, since I can let the spammy comments sit for a while and no one (including webcrawlers) will see them. The bad news is that the filter is imperfect, so there's a chance that every now and then a legit comment may get screened out. I promise I will review the comments marked as spam before deleting them, and if your addition is legitimate, it will appear eventually.

remember personal info?

Due to spam problems, I have installed a comments filter. Sometimes legitimate comments are filtered out and must be manually approved. Sorry for the inconvenience.
